‘Guilty as charged’: Chuck Schumer spent nearly $9K on cheesecake

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer didn’t shy away from a New York Post report about him dropping nearly $9,000 on cheesecake.

During a news conference on Sunday, Schumer responded to coverage of his Federal Election Commission reports, which revealed that the Friends of Schumer PAC spent $8,638.85 at Junior’s Cheesecake, a restaurant in Brooklyn, over the past decade. The New York Democrat embraced the report about his love for cheesecake and even brought samples for reporters at the event.
