Rep. Michael Grimm’s (R-NY) campaign office on Staten Island was allegedly vandalized and burglarized overnight, Politicker reports.
Staffers arrived at the office this morning to discover multiple windows that had apparently been broken with cement blocks but “upon further investigation, the NYPD discovered computers inside the office had their hard drives erased.
A Grimm spokesman said the campaign “does believe this is politically motivated.”
