Federal prosecutors will ask a grand jury today to indict Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York police commissioner, on charges that include tax fraud, corruption and conspiracy counts, according to people who have been briefed on the case.
The grand jury, convening in Westchester County, has heard evidence about Mr. Kerik for about a year as part of a broad federal inquiry into a variety of issues, including his acceptance of $165,000 in renovations from a contractor who was seeking a city license.
Prosecutors are also seeking to charge Mr. Kerik, 52, with failing to report as income more than $200,000 in rent that they say was paid on his behalf to use a luxury Upper East Side apartment where he lived with his family around the time he left his city post, the people briefed on the case said.
Investigators have not suggested that Mr. Kerik’s benefactor, Steve Witkoff, a commercial real estate developer, was involved in any wrongdoing. If the grand jury approves an indictment, as expected, it will remain sealed until tomorrow, when Mr. Kerik would be arraigned in United States District Court in White Plains, N.Y...[Open in new window]

Kerik was the guy GW was going to appoint head of Homeland Security on Rudy's recommendation!
That would have been a landmark on Preznit Chuckle-Nuts road to out-sleezing Nixon, Reagan and his Father combined.
The boy tries to be the best at something. Sleeze seems to be it.
He's doing well so far. And killing a lot of people in the process.
To quote one retarded old bitch with a Texas accent who called in to Washington Journal: "He's not a politician, you know, he's a statesman."
He's a something alright. I don't thinks it's 'statesman' though.
