Feds look to start trial of GOP Rep. Michael Grimm in October, one month before Election Day

Tom Wrobleski

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Federal prosecutors want GOP Rep. Michael Grimm's tax evasion trial to start in October, a month before Election Day.

Speaking at a status conference in Brooklyn federal court on Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney James Gatta said that motion procedures and hearings in the case could be held by the end of September, with a trial to begin the following month.

Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) is running for re-election against Democrat Domenic M. Recchia Jr. on Nov. 4.

Grimm has been indicted on 20 counts, including tax evasion, fraud and conspiracy, connected to his former Healthalicious health food restaurant.
