The once powerful New York State Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver is scheduled to report to prison today.
Silver was convicted and sentenced to six and a half years in prison for taking part in a multi-million dollar bribery scheme.
He had battled the charges and dodged prison time for years and had his convictions thrown out twice, but he was eventually found guilty.
A judge recently sentenced him to prison, despite his arguments that his age and the risk of the coronavirus should keep him out.
