WASHINGTON -- For the third year in a row, Congressional Representative Gregory Meeks (D-Queens) reported no assets -- no retirement account, no investments, no savings -- on his annual financial disclosure to Congress.

He has attracted scrutiny since a federal probe was launched over questions -- first raised by The Post -- about what became of money collected by a charity for Hurricane Katrina victims.

The Post first reported that Meeks' New Yorkers Organized to Assist Hurricane Families paid out only $1,392 of the roughly $31,000 it collected for victims of the disaster in New Orleans. Meeks has denied wrongdoing.

A federal grand jury slapped him with a subpoena in April demanding records as part the expanding corruption probe, which also targets two other Queens Democrats, state Senate President Malcolm Smith and former Rep. Floyd Flake.
