Bernie Kerik Pleads Guilty to Tax Fraud

November 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment

According to the New York Times, former Commisioner of the NYPD and Bush nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security, Bernard Kerik, pleaded guilty in federal court yesterday to tax fraud:

The tax fraud charges stemmed in part from Mr. Kerik’s acceptance of $250,000 in renovations to his Bronx apartment, provided by a company accused of having ties to organized crime. He also admitted lying to White House officials, denying improprieties, while he was being interviewed to be head of the Department of Homeland Security.
