Jury selection begins Tuesday in the fraud trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. He's charged with 18 counts of tax and bank fraud, allegations that stem from money he made while working for a former Ukrainian strongman—money he allegedly hid from the U.S. government and then illicitly transferred back to the United States.

According to the indictment, Manafort made $75 million working in the Ukraine, then sent that money from Ukraine to Cyprus, a country with notoriously loose regulation. But he still had to get it back to the U.S.

One method for doing that—one that's preferred by money launderers—is to send it through New York real estate. Manafort bought homes in the Hamptons, in Soho, and in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. It was the Carroll Gardens house that caught WNYC's attention around a year and a half ago.

Andrea Bernstein, co-host of the Trump, Inc. podcast, spoke with WNYC's Kerry Nolan about the upcoming trial.
