A former executive assistant to U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., is set to plead guilty this week to stealing from the federal government.

Brian Prokes, represented by Williams & Connolly, was charged in federal district court in Washington on July 17 with a single count of theft. Prokes arranged to receive higher salary payments than he was supposed to and paid for unauthorized travel expenses using a government credit card, according to the criminal information.
