Not only does #HarryRuiz deserve financial compensation but every prosecutor involved in this injustice must be brought before the Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct. The best deterrent to bad prosecutors is holding the ones we know accountable.

@alykatzz Let me be clear, if you repeat the false claim that I knowingly sought out inappropriate campaign matching funds again we will have a serious problem. Have a nice day!

[Brian Benjamin @BrianBenjaminNY]

@alykatzz Alyssa: Stop spreading false information. You are supposed to be a serious journalist. I was unaware of the nature of those donations when I was seeking public matching funds. Maybe you don’t believe someone is innocent until proven guilty but the rest of us do.

[WCNY's The Capitol Pressroom @CapPressRoom]

We talked with former Lt. Gov. @BrianBenjaminNY about his decision to resign in 2022.

He says his first call was to Senate Leader @AndreaSCousins and that no one pressured him to step down.

Had a lengthy chat with former LG. @BrianBenjaminNY about the corruption case that was dropped earlier this year, the role of the governor's number two, and his plans for the future.

@poozer87 David asked some tough questions but was very fair. Thanks for asking me to join @CapPressRoom to have a candid conversation.

One of our key priorities is to help end the maternal health crisis that is plaguing urban communities all across the country.

I am pleased to announce that I have recently accepted the position of President for the Northeast Region for CINQCARE. CINQCARE delivers health and care services to individuals with high needs in urban and rural communities. We are in 22 states serving over 220K family members.

I know we live in a world where it is hard to separate facts from allegations/opinions. Influential voices are more focused on clicks than vetting, thoughtful analysis and perspective. With that said, thanks to Rebecca Lewis for sharing my full interview: https://t.co/bnijyFutI7

Brian Benjamin followed a different playbook than Adams, Trump, and other electeds charged with crimes. I talked to him for his first interview since the former lieutenant governor’s case got dropped. https://t.co/g14yBTNkES

[Brian Benjamin @BrianBenjaminNY]

I would like to thank the present leadership at @SDNYnews for reviewing this case and deciding to dismiss the charges in its entirety today. I want to thank my legal team, family, friends and community for all of their unwavering support.

We just filed our US Supreme Court petition. I will continue to fight to vindicate the truth and my innocence in this case, as I have been doing for the more than two years since these wrongful charges were brought.

I will sign the necessary paperwork to remove myself from the ballot. I am innocent of these unsubstantiated charges. However, I would be unable to serve under these circumstances. I want to thank all of my constituents and supporters for giving me the opportunity to serve.
