Judge Orders Ex-US Rep. Aaron Schock to Provide Records
Source: ABC
A federal judge has ordered former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock to provide some records to prosecutors as part of a grand jury probe into the Illinois Republican's spending.
U.S. District Judge Sue Myerscough's ruling, issued Feb. 12 and unsealed Wednesday, followed months of legal wrangling over documents that Schock's attorneys argue should be confidential.
Among the 16 records that Myerscough said Schock must turn over are 2011 documents related to a joint campaign fundraising committee he controlled and draft limited liability company agreements related to his "personal business dealings."
He also must produce emails about his travel and a real estate investment some of which were exchanged days before Schock announced March 17, 2015, that he would resign at the end of the month amid questions about congressional and campaign spending.
Schock, of Peoria, has since been issued at least two grand jury subpoenas seeking campaign and congressional records. FBI agents also have removed boxes and other items from his central Illinois campaign office.

Schock was endorsed by Cruz and heavily promoted by Breitbart, so we know some bad guys lost: LOSERS!
