AZ-06: Rep. David Schweikert made a fake loan and misused campaign funds.

“Some of the most serious allegations had nothing to do with the chief of staff or the compliance firm and were instead the result of direct conduct by Representative Schweikert and his spouse,” the report said.

By far, the most damaging part of the report involves a $100,000 loan reported by Schweikert to his 2012 re-election campaign.

Bottom line: It was phony. Schweikert never actually made the loan. He just reported it, making his campaign appear financially healthier than it was. Then he reported five fictional payments totaling $100,000 to his campaign adviser in order to balance the books.
