Florida Rep. Alan Grayson accused of pushing estranged wife while attempting to visit children

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson’s wife has accused him of pushing her during an argument over the weekend, but he claims the allegations are a lie.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Tuesday that it was investigating a reported domestic violence incident between Grayson and his wife, Lolita, but no charges have been filed.

Greyson’s office released a statement denying his wife’s accusations. Grayson says he never touched his wife, even after she physically attacked him.

Grayson’s wife filed for divorce in January, and the central Florida Democrat claims he was attempting to visit his children when the incident occurred.
