The man accused of attempting to stab New York gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin on stage at a campaign event will not yet be released from custody, a judge determined on Thursday, according to a Department of Justice spokesperson.
David Jakubonis, 43, appeared before Magistrate Judge Marian Payson in the Western District of New York on Thursday for a bail hearing but the judge decided they needed more information, according to a statement from Department of Justice spokesperson Barbara Burns.
Payson asked to review videos of Jakubonis' interview with law enforcement after his arrest as well as video of the incident, Burns said in the statement.

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.
