A two-count "criminal information" charging Glicken violated the Federal Election Campaign Act was filed Thursday. A criminal information replaces an indictment when a defendant waives the right to have a grand jury consider the case.
"The agreement is that he will plead to misdemeanor charges," said Ed Shohat, Glicken's lawyer. "He has cooperated with the investigation from the inception and will continue to fully cooperate. Howard is happy to put the matter behind him."
