A
Florida man accused of conspiring with associates of
Rudy Giuliani to make illegal campaign contributions made an initial court appearance Wednesday after flying to Kennedy Airport in
New York City to turn himself in.
David Correia, 44, made a brief appearance before a federal judge in Manhattan, who ordered him released on a $250,000 bond.
Jeffrey Marcus, Correia's lawyer, told the judge his client had been traveling in the
Middle East when the news broke last week about the charges, but contacted U.S. authorities to arrange his return and surrender.
