Rep. Grimm Officially Resigns Over Tax Evasion Case
Source: NY1
Republican Congressman Michael Grimm is stepping down today following his guilty plea on a federal tax evasion charge.
Grimm announced his resignation last week.
The announcement came less than two months after he won re-election to the 11th Congressional District representing Staten Island and Brooklyn.
Grimm admitted to hiding $900,000 of income when he ran a health restaurant before he was first elected in 2010.
