New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin was arrested Tuesday morning after surrendering to the police on federal bribery charges.⁠

The five charges revolve around Benjamin’s failed bid for New York City comptroller last year and around accusations that he worked with a real estate investor in order to arrange for thousands of dollars in illegal campaign donations for which, in exchange, Benjamin directed state funds to the investor. Then a state senator, Benjamin finished fourth in the Democratic primary for comptroller.⁠

According to the indictment, he is facing counts of bribery, honest services wire fraud and falsification of records. Last month, the New York Times reported that Benjamin was the focus of a federal probe.⁠
