Philip Sean Grillo of Queens, New York, was found guilty of five charges, including one felony, and convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony and misdemeanor of entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, the Justice Department released Wednesday.
Grillo is running to replace Santos after he was removed in a historic vote last week, ending his 11-month tenure in Congress, making him the sixth lawmaker ever to be ousted from the House. Santos was booted from Congress weeks after the House Ethics Committee's report found substantial evidence that he committed serious federal crimes.
