U.S. District Judge J. Paul Oetken of the Southern District of New York on Thursday set a trial date of Jan. 23, 2023, for former New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, who was indicted in April on corruption and bribery charges.
Benjamin’s lead attorney, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel partner Barry Berke, said a trial would not be necessary if Oetken grants the defense’s motion to dismiss. The defense team has a late June deadline to make its motion to dismiss the charges.
