About Ben Kochman

I write about a wide range of legal dramas at the New York Post, focusing on efforts to root out government corruption and hold powerful people accountable.Over the past three years alone, I’ve covered the Manhattan trials of President Trump, Sean Combs, subway vigilante Daniel Penny, disgraced Senator Bob Menendez and fallen crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried, providing detailed reporting and insight to tens of millions of readers. Now I’m covering the infamous Manhattan murder case of Luigi Mangione, the trial of deposed Venezuela despot Nicolas Maduro, and so much more.I work relentlessly on daily deadlines to translate legalese, cut through the noise, and explain to folks what’s happening in our courts.Plus, I regularly appear on national TV and The Post’s YouTube channel to discuss my work.
