ERIC CANTOR TIED TO RABBI WHOSE AIDE IS AT CENTER OF PROBE

An influential rabbi whose former aide is embroiled in a campaign finance investigation has ties to one of the most powerful members of Congress, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

Ofer Biton, a former aide to the Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, was arrested by the FBI on immigration fraud charges last week. Biton, an Israeli citizen, had also served as a fundraiser to Rep. Michael Grimm, a Republican from New York's Staten Island. Recent media reports indicate that Grimm is being investigated for having possibly accepted illegal campaign contributions from members of Pinto’s congregation.
