Republican NY Rep. Michael Grimm Charged with Fraud 
----------------------------------------------------


 
New York Republican Rep. Michael Grimm has surrendered to federal
authorities after being indicted for fraud. Grimm is accused of
concealing more than $1 million in taxes and wages at his restaurant in
New York City. The charges are part of a wider probe into Grimm's
campaign finances. In January, Grimm was caught on camera threatening to
throw a New York 1 reporter off a balcony for questioning him about the
investigation.
