WASHINGTON, April 30 (UPI) -- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor will meet with embattled Rep. Michael Grimm Wednesday to discuss his way forward after he was slapped with a 20-count indictment this week.
The Republican leader has indicated he is unlikely to ask Grimm, R-N.Y., to resign, despite Grimm's being charged with various counts of fraud related to a health-food restaurant chain in Manhattan. Grimm has said he plans to not only remain in his seat -- although he did step down from his position on the House Financial Services Committee -- but also run again for a third term.
