Fmr. Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock Indicted by Federal Jury
--------------------------------------------------------

Former Republican Illinois Congressmember Aaron Schock has been indicted
by a federal grand jury on 24 counts, including wire fraud and theft of
government funds. Schock resigned from the House in March 2015 following
a Washington Post investigation into his expensive Capitol Hill office,
which has been described as "Downton Abbey"-themed. He's been accused of
using tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on his office's renovations,
as well as private jets and concerts.
