BREAKING: New York Lt. Governor Arrested

[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.

#6 Jussie Smollett to offer some advice or tips here? Nah, probably won't be required.
