Florida Rep. Alan Grayson's Ex-Wife Alleges Domestic Abuse
----------------------------------------------------------

Politico is reporting Florida Congressmember Alan Grayson's ex-wife
repeatedly went to police with accusations of domestic abuse over a
two-decade period. The revelations come as Grayson enters the final
weeks of his Democratic primary campaign for Senate. Politico reports
Lolita Grayson called police at least two times in Virginia and two more
times in Florida, and that she sought medical attention on at least two
occasions. She says that Grayson threatened to kill her on at least one
instance. Alan Grayson denies he engaged in any abuse during the
couple's 25-year marriage, which ended last year in a bitter annulment
that she is now appealing.
