From NBC News

> After his release, Lander denied assaulting law enforcement. “I will not characterize the events, but I certainly did not assault an officer,” he told reporters and a crowd of supporters who had gathered to greet him.

> "We are not going to allow Donald Trump to wreck the rule of law, to deny people due process, and to turn our country into something that doesn’t meet its obligations under international law," Lander said.

> "We are normalizing the destruction of constitutional democracy, and we’re not going to stand by and let it happen," he added.

> New York Gov. Kathy Hochul accompanied the comptroller as he was released and told reporters, "to my knowledge" any charges against Lander had been dropped and he "walks out of there a free man."

> A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York said there would be no court appearance for Lander, as it continues to investigate the matter.
