Grimm’s travel request denied by judge
A federal judge has denied former Staten Island-Southwest Brooklyn Congressman Michael Grimm his request to travel to Europe for a job interview.
Grimm had filed a letter in Brooklyn’s federal Eastern District Court on Wednesday requesting modification of his bail conditions.
According to the New York Daily News, Judge Pamela Chen expressed concern that letting Grimm, an ex-FBI agent, go overseas could make him a flight risk in a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.
