Former Congressman Michael Grimm is due in court for sentencing on a tax evasion conviction.

The Staten Island Republican pleaded guilty late last year to aiding in the filing of a false tax return.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have asked a judge to give Grimm at least 2 years behind bars at the sentencing on Friday morning. His lawyers are seeking probation.

The 45-year-old Grimm won re-election in November, but resigned after his guilty plea.
