Republican U.S. Rep. Michael Grimms attorney says federal prosecutors in New York plan on filing criminal charges against the lawmaker.
Lawyer William McGinley says in a statement Friday hes not surprised by the governments decision. He says Grimm is innocent and calls the federal probe into the former FBI agent-turned-politician a politically driven vendetta.
The House Ethics Committee announced in November that Grimm was under investigation for possible campaign finance violations. That committee said it would defer its inquiry because of a separate Department of Justice investigation.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn says he cant confirm, deny or comment on the case.

This is a hit by the Obama administration against a great republican (the only one in congress from NYC) and a great friend of Israel and the frum community
