Week In Politics: From Michael Grimm Indictment To Upcoming Primaries

NPR's Digital Politics Editor Charlie Mahtesian discusses the week in politics with Here & Now's Robin Young.

New York Congressman Michael Grimm pleaded not guilty today to a 20-count federal indictment that includes charges of mail fraud, wire fraud and tax fraud.

This past weekend, the annual NRA convention drew tens of thousands of people to Indianapolis, along with keynote speakers such as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

The conference preceded what will be a month of several competitive GOP primaries, including races in North Carolina and Ohio.
