Republican U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm�s attorney says federal prosecutors in New York plan on filing criminal charges against the lawmaker.
Lawyer William McGinley says in a statement Friday he�s not surprised by the government�s 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 can�t confirm, deny or comment on the case.
