PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia City Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson says he is bracing for the possibility that federal prosecutors are going to file charges against him at any moment. Johnson confirms he and his wife have been the target of an ongoing federal investigation.

Federal prosecutors have declined to comment on the investigation or potential charges.
Johnson's attorney has not responded to CBS3's requests for comment.
