U.S. Representative Grimm says he will not resign following guilty plea

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Michael Grimm said he would not resign his seat in Congress despite his guilty plea on Tuesday to a federal tax charge in Brooklyn. "As long as I'm able to serve, I'm going to," Grimm told reporters following the court hearing, pointing out that he easily won a third term in November even though he had been indicted in April on 20 charges, including tax fraud and perjury.
