New York Rep. Michael Grimm pleaded guilty to a single count of tax fraud Tuesday in Brooklyn federal court.
The guilty plea comes one month after the congressman, a Republican who represents Staten Island, was elected to a third term.
In April, Grimm was named in a 20-count indictment that accused him of under-reporting the payroll and earnings of his Upper East Side restaurant, Healthalicious, which he ran from 2007 to 2010. He pleaded not guilty in federal court and was released on bond.
Prosecutors alleged Grimm employed a number of immigrant workers who did not have legal status to work in the U.S., and paid them in cash -- wages that were not reported to the government. He also allegedly "substantially under-reported" the restaurant's gross receipts, lowering its taxes.

Conservatives are opposed to all crooked politicians equally. Prison would be nice for this anti American scum.
Patriots don’t hire illegals.
Charles Rangle has his Congressional seat for as long as he wants.
I am of the opinion that his constituents can see him shooting an innocent man in broad daylight with video to boot and they’d STILL vote for him.
The sleazier they get, they more they are liked. Liberalism is a disease.
What a piker...hell, Sharpton owes $4,000,000 in taxes and he isn’t in jail...
