JUST IN: New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin arrested on charges related to a campaign finance fraud investigation, 2 people familiar with the matter tell NBCNewYork.
Migdol is charged with wire fraud in connection with an alleged campaign fraud scheme linked to past Benjamin fundraising.
Benjamin, who was appointed lieutenant governor by Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2021, has not publicly addressed the allegations. When asked previously about the investigation, his office referred back to a Nov. 19 press statement issued after Migdol was arrested. “Neither Lieutenant Governor Benjamin nor his campaign are being accused of any wrongdoing and they are prepared to fully cooperate with authorities,” his office said at the time. “As soon as the campaign discovered that these contributions were improperly sourced, they donated them to the Campaign Finance Board, pursuant to guidance obtained from the CFB.”This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
