The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 29, 2014

New York Congressman Michael Grimm has been indicted on 20 counts surrounding his time as a health-food restaurateur - from underreporting wages and revenue to hiring undocumented workers. NY1 reporter Courtney Gross discusses the latest round of indictments, and how they are related to the other investigations into Grimm's political and business practices. And Evan Ratliff, co-founder of The Atavist who has written extensively about Grimm for The New Yorker, discusses Grimm's long and sometimes rocky road to politics, from his time as an FBI agent through his election in 2011.
