Brad Lander Released Without Charges After Court Arrest, Says Hochul
Briefly

The U.S. Attorney's Office is investigating an incident allegedly involving Lander in connection with assaults on law enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security has accused him of such assaults, which Lander has denied. He asserts that the incident is clear from video evidence. Additionally, a video shared by Lander's wife shows him asking for a judicial warrant, indicating a dispute over the legality of the officers' actions. The outcome of the investigation and potential prosecution remains to be seen.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office said prosecutors are still investigating the incident involving Lander and will prosecute any violations of federal law, including assaults on law enforcement.
The Department of Homeland Security has accused Lander of doing just that, which the mayoral candidate has denied.
You guys all saw it on video, so you know exactly what happened, Lander said. I certainly did not assault an officer.
In a video posted to social media by Lander's wife, the comptroller can be heard repeatedly asking for a judicial warrant.
