#1,074 - NY Lieutenant Governor Arrested and Resigns on Federal Bribery Charges

New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin was indicted in a federal bribery conspiracy case involving allegedly fraudulent donations to a campaign he ran for New York City comptroller, court documents released Tuesday show.

Bejamin was scheduled to appear for arraignment later Tuesday in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona Wang, according to the U.S. Southern District Court in Manhattan. He was arrested Tuesday morning, The New York Times reported.

The case against Benjamin could upend his election bid and that of Gov. Kathy Hochul. Both are seeking full four-year terms after stepping into their roles last year following the resignation of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The Democrats run separately in the June primaries, but would run as a team in November if they make it to the general election.
