Representative Michael Grimm, Facing Federal Charges of Tax and Business Fraud, Surrenders to FBI By Paul Kane and Adam Goldman Published: April 28, 2014 Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ rep-michael-grimm-facing-federal-charges-surrenders-to-fbi/ 2014/04/28/a46fa46e-cede-11e3-937f-d3026234b51c_story.html .

Grimm (R-N.Y.) was defiant in the face of 20 tax and business fraud charges filed against him Monday by prosecutors in Brooklyn, vowing to fight tooth and nail until were exonerated.
.Grimm accused prosecutors of misconduct in the case, citing leaks to the media, and he promised to serve out his term and win reelection this fall. He later told House Republican leaders, however, that he would resign from the powerful Financial Services Committee until the charges were resolved.
.Republicans face the prospect that the indictment could cost them their only congressional seat in New York City, as Grimm was already facing a formidable challenge from former City Council member Domenic M. Recchia Jr., a Democrat.
.Loretta E. Lynch, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, released the 30-page indictment along with a strongly worded attack against the former FBI fraud investigator. Michael Grimm made the choice from going to upholding the law to breaking the law, Lynch told reporters.
.The charges allege that a restaurant owned by Grimm hid from local and federal tax officials more than $1 million in receipts, while also paying workers hundreds of thousands of dollars off the books to further avoid paying taxes. The prosecutors said Grimm then lied about the scheme while giving a deposition in 2013 in a lawsuit filed by workers.
.The indictment included five counts each of mail and wire fraud, three counts related to filing false tax returns, two counts of perjury and one count of obstructing the investigation. Other counts are related to hiring illegal immigrants and declining to provide workers compensation insurance.
