NEW YORK (CBSNewYork / AP)-- Already hit with criminal charges alleging that he took
bribes in a federal corruption case, New York City Councilman Daniel Halloran (R - 19th) is now facing an investigation by his own colleagues.
Silver, who stepped down from his longtime position as Assembly speaker
in the wake of the
corruption case, was indicted on
federal fraud and extortion charges
in February related to claims that he took more than $ 4 million
