Feds Weigh Indictment Of Former Rep. Aaron Schock

Politico reports today that federal prosecutors “have their sights” on disgraced former GOP Rep. Aaron Schock. They write:

There have been a few random glimpses of the Illinois Republican since his abrupt departure from Capitol Hill: having dinner with his father in Peru last summer, and snowboarding with a friend in Aspen, Colorado, in February. Just this month, Schock was seen lugging his gym bag outside the Longworth House Office Building. Sources say he is now living with his father in Peoria, Illinois, and working in real estate.

But the 34-year-old remains in legal limbo, awaiting clarity on his future from a grand jury that’s been meeting in secret since last April to decide whether Schock should face federal charges. The protracted proceedings may be nearing completion, with an indictment coming as soon as this month, sources familiar with the case say. It’s unclear what charges are being weighed, but Schock faced a barrage of media reports about alleged improper spending of office and campaign funds before he exited the House.

Schock has reportedly already spent millions on his defense. (Tipped by JMG reader Brandon)
