NY Lt. Gov. Benjamin Arrested in Campaign Donation Scheme
Newsmax ^ | April 12, 2022

New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, whose seven months in that role has been overshadowed by probes into a previous campaign, was arrested Tuesday in a federal corruption investigation.

The U.S. Attorney's office said Benjamin was arrested on charges of bribery, honest services wire fraud, and falsification of records.

Benjamin, formerly a state senator from Harlem, had joined the administration of Gov.

Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., over sexual harassment allegations.

Luckily for Benjamin, he is going to be arraigned before Pharaoh, who is his brother.
