Lobbyist Pleads Guilty

A lobbyist with ties to former Congressman Curt Weldon has pleaded guilty to destroying evidence related to an FBI investigation. Cecelia Grimes of Philadelphia entered the plea today in federal court in Washington. Grimes admitted throwing her Blackberry into the trash at a fast food restaurant to keep the FBI from finding it. She also admitted to throwing away other evidence authorities were looking for in an investigation. Federal authorities have been looking into whether Weldon agreed to help Grimes by supporting appropriations requests from her lobbying firm. Weldon lost his seat in 2006.
