Rep. Michael Grimm (left) scowls next to Rep. Peter King (right)
U.S. Congressman Michael Grimm (R-NY) is in federal custody. No, not for
threatening to kill a reporter. No, not for
walking into a nightclub with a gun and threatening to pull the trigger. No, not for
having sex in a bar bathroom.
Instead, for this:
Grimm is believed to be facing charges related to a private business deal that he made prior to being elected to Congress that involved an Upper East Side health food restaurant.
He's expected to be arraigned in federal court later Monday.
Grimm was
indicted on Friday. Today he's in custody. No word yet on whether Cliven Bundy's militia will be sending reinforcements Grimm's way in order to defend his Constitutional freedom to break whatever law he damn well pleases.
8:06 AM PT: Here's a link to the indictment.
