Former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has spent more than $1.5 million from his re-election fund on attorneys since he was arrested on federal corruption charges last winter.
Finance reports filed with the state Board of Elections show the Manhattan Democrat’s campaign, Friends of Silver, paid $25,000 to MoloLamken a week before his Jan. 22 arrest, and then gave the law firm another $1 million payment in February. He also paid Stroock, Stroock & Lavan $500,000 in late January.
