A huge surprise rocked Albany and the future of the Hochul Administration.
Brian Benjamin resigned on Tuesday from his job as NY’s Lieutenant Governor. When he was chosen for the position last fall by Hochul, federal investigators were already looking into donations he received when he ran for NYC comptroller last year. He’s now being accused of promising state funds to a NYC nonprofit in exchange for campaign donations. We have more on this week’s show.
