A federal jury is set to resume deliberations at the corruption trial of former New York Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno.
After taking a break for the Thanksgiving holiday, the jury is scheduled Monday to hear a readback of testimony by one of the Senate lawyers who advised Bruno on ethics issues, including possible conflicts of interest and required disclosures about his business activities.
The 80-year-old retired politician faces eight federal fraud counts. Prosecutors told a jury in Albany that Bruno schemed to defraud New Yorkers and misrepresented or concealed his sideline business dealings.
Bruno insists he did nothing wrong and never betrayed the public’s trust.
