Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn announced a new indictment of Sen. John Sampson on Monday. It alleges he lied to the FBI concerning questions about directing members of his Senate staff to take actions to benefit a Brooklyn liquor store in which Sampson secretly held an ownership interest.

Jimmy Vielkind, now of Capital NY, first reported on Sampson’s involvement with the retailer for the TU last May.

He already was facing charges of embezzlement and making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The former leader of the the Democratic Conference allegedly stole money to fund a bid to become Brooklyn’s top state prosecutor, then engaged in an elaborate obstruction scheme to hide his illegal conduct, going so far as to counsel lies and the hiding of evidence, according to the announcement.

Here is the indictment:
