| [PJ via Insty] On Tuesday morning, New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin surrendered to authorities "to face fraud-related charges in connection with a previous political campaign," according to a report from The Daily Beast. Benjamin was arrested on multiple charges, including bribery, over an alleged plot to get campaign contributions in exchange for a state grant. Benjamin is expected to appear in Manhattan federal court Tuesday afternoon, and the U.S. Southern District of New York is scheduled to hold a press conference at noon. |
