Englander’s activities on that trip — including his receipt of an envelope containing $10,000 in a casino bathroom — led to a federal investigation, which in turn resulted in an obstruction-of-justice case against him. Shortly after charges were brought against Englander, Lee said that he was present during the 2017 Las Vegas trip, but was “unaware of any illegal activities” and had cooperated with the FBI.
A businessperson, who isn’t identified in the Ethics Commission accusation, gave Lee and the others access to VIP “comps” from the resort and casino, including hotel rooms. Lee accepted about $600 worth perks, which included two nights at the hotel, investigators said. Lee went on the Vegas trip on June 1. He left his chief of staff position on June 12, but didn’t report any gifts from the reporting period of Jan. 1, 2017, to June 12, 2017, according to investigators.
