夏威夷民主党副州长西尔维娅·卢克被大陪审团起诉，罪名包括共谋受贿罪、受贿罪以及伪造候选人委员会财务报告，这些指控源于她2022年担任州议员期间 allegedly 收受的一笔贿赂。
起诉书中指控，当地商人兼说客托比·索利杜姆为卢克提供了3.5万美元贿赂，这笔钱与他推荐的一家公司和州政府签订的新冠检测合同有关。
索利杜姆连同前州议员瑞安·亚内、夏威夷交通部官员福特·藤川以及夏威夷公共事业委员会前官员利奥·阿森西翁一同被纳入州总检察长调查的起诉范围。

上述五名被告均被纳入州总检察长安妮·洛佩兹今年1月启动的调查，该调查是联邦贿赂调查的分支。
索利杜姆的客户是夏威夷全国肾脏基金会，该基金会与州政府签订了提供新冠检测站点的合同。
根据检察官的说法，2022年1月，在其客户的合同即将到期之际，索利杜姆在一家牛排店与卢克会面，据称交给她两张金额各5000美元的支票，收款方为她的竞选委员会“西尔维娅·卢克之友”。

“到下周，我们就能拿到35个（检测点），离70个的目标就完成一半了，”起诉书中援引索利杜姆据称对卢克所说的话，他还承诺会再给卢克7万美元。
“哇哦，”卢克据称回应道，还补充道，“这太棒了。”

卢克承认收下了这两张5000美元的支票，但否认收受了更多款项，同时否认任何钱款影响了她的立法投票。

“我从未为捐赠者提供过特殊关照，”她在社交媒体帖子中写道，并补充说她“在整个职业生涯中都将正直和诚实置于首位”。
起诉书还指出，索利杜姆似乎试图利用卢克即将竞选副州长的机会牟利。起诉书中援引索利杜姆对另一名州议员所说的话：“我现在要做的就是给她更多钱。”

起诉书公布数小时后，夏威夷州长乔希·格林呼吁卢克辞职。
“副州长应考虑正式辞职，以处理此事，这样夏威夷州才能向前迈进，”格林周五对当地媒体《毛伊现在报》表示。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系州长和副州长办公室，寻求进一步置评。

Democratic Hawaii Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke was indicted by a grand jury on charges of criminal conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery and falsifying candidate committee reports stemming from a bribe she allegedly took as a state lawmaker in 2022.
The indictment alleges that local businessman and lobbyist Tobi Solidum offered Luke a $35,000 bribe connected to a COVID-19 testing contract a company he recommended had with the state.
Solidum was also indicted as part of the state attorney general’s probe, along with former state representative Ryan Yamane, Hawaii’s Transportation Department official Ford Fuchigami, and Leo Asunción, a former official for Hawaii’s public utilities commission.

All five defendants were swept up as part of state Attorney General Anne Lopez’s January investigation, which was an offshoot of a federal bribery probe.
Solidum represented the National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii, which had contracts with the state to provide COVID-19 testing sites.
In January 2022, with his client’s contracts set to expire soon, Solidum met with Luke at a steakhouse and allegedly gave her two $5,000 checks made out to her campaign committee Friends of Sylvia Luke, according to prosecutors.

“By next week, we’ll have 35, so it will be halfway to our 70,” Solidum allegedly told Luke, promising to give her $70,000, according to the indictment.
“Oh wow,” Luke allegedly replied, adding, “That’s terrific,” according to the documents.

Luke admitted to accepting the two $5,000 checks, but denied taking more than that and also denied any money influencing her lawmaking.

“I never granted special favors to a contributor,” she said in a social media post, adding that she “prized integrity and honesty above all throughout her career.”
The indictment also argues that Solidum appeared to be attempting to leverage Luke’s upcoming run for lieutenant governor. Speaking about Luke to another state representative, Solidum said, “All I gotta do is give her more money now,” the indictment alleges.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green called for Luke to resign hours after the indictment.
“The lieutenant governor needs to consider formally resigning to address this matter and so that the state of Hawaiʻi can move forward,” Green told local outlet Maui Now on Friday.
Fox News Digital contacted the governor’s and lieutenant governor’s offices for further comment.
