Remember that congressman who threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony?

He's out of jail, and wants to run for his old office again.

Former New York Rep. Michael Grimm (R) is mulling a return to Congress now that he has been released from prison, according to NY1.com.

Grimm — who famously threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony in the Capitol for asking him probing interview questions — served seven months in federal prison on tax evasion charges, but was released in May of 2016 and sources say he is readying himself to run again for his old seat representing the Staten Island.
