BOSTON - A Boston city councilor allegedly videotaped accepting a $1,000 bribe says he’s the victim of a "set-up" designed to entrap him and is planning make his case on the steps of City Hall on Monday.

Chuck Turner was arrested Friday and charged with one count of attempted extortion and two counts of making false statements for allegedly accepting cash from an undercover agent working with the FBI as part of a public corruption probe at Boston City Hall and the Massachusetts Statehouse.
