Schneiderman\u2019s team is also said to be investigating transactions related to Trump businesses and may share its findings with Mueller.<\/p>\n<p>Schneiderman is a vociferous Trump critic who has engaged the administration in litigation related to the travel ban, health care reform, and deregulatory efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Mueller joining his efforts with a state attorney general may be part of a strategy to mitigate against the president\u2019s pardon power. Though the Constitution invests Trump with the power to pardon federal crimes, he cannot grant relief from prosecution for state or local crimes. Working with Schneiderman may ensure a state official is prepared to bring a case against Trump associates in the event the president pardons former business or campaign hands for federal crimes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2017\/08\/30\/report-mueller-working-with-dem-state-ag-on-russia-probe\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>      <!-- END CONTENT --><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#333; font-size:11px;\">This article was posted: Thursday, August 31, 2017  at  8:29 am<\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/><!-- share and follow --><br \/>\n      <!-- end of share and follow --><\/p>\n<div class=\"print_sub\">\n<h3 class=\"sub_titles\">&#13;<br \/>\n        \t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/report-mueller-working-with-dem-state-ag-on-russia-probe.html\/print\/\" title=\"Print\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"WP-PrintIcon\" src=\"https:\/\/hw.prisonplanet.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-print\/images\/printer_famfamfam.gif\" alt=\"Print\" title=\"Print\" style=\"border: 0px;\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nPrint this page.<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<hr class=\"dotted_line\"\/>\n<p>        <!--\n      \n\n<div class=\"nextpage\">\n              <\/div>\n\n \n --><\/p>\n<p><!--\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gm2pZEeYN0E?list=UUvsye7V9psc-APX6wV1twLg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prisonplanet.com\/report-mueller-working-with-dem-state-ag-on-russia-probe.html\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily CallerAugust 31, 2017 Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly working with New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on his investigation of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
