FBI agents are probing the Manhattan district attorney’s office over its handling of high-profile cases that were dropped once lawyers for the well-connected subjects made donations, the Daily News has learned.
Investigators have been quietly seeking information in recent months about decision-making by DA Cy Vance Jr. and his staff, sources with knowledge of the undertaking said.

In another case, the DA also failed to bring criminal charges against two of President Trump’s children in an alleged real estate scam.
Vance’s office cleared daughter Ivanka Trump and son Donald Trump Jr., who were being looked at for allegedly defrauding Trump SoHo investors and would-be buyers by lying about the number of condos that had been sold.
In 2012, Vance met with an attorney for the pair, Marc Kasowitz, who had previously given him $25,000. An additional $32,000 was donated after the office declined to prosecute Ivanka and Trump Jr.

The DA who charged Manafort, who I guess his attorneys didn't offer him a donation, YET. He is a democrat as well. Who is Kasovitz, Trumps attorney.
I wonder how hard the FBI is looking into this?
