Charges Dropped Against Aaron Schock

Former Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) “will walk away from a public corruption case with no conviction, a federal judge ruled Wednesday at a hearing lasting just a few minutes,” the Chicago Sun Times reports.

“A 2016 indictment accused Schock of improperly using campaign and government funds for cars, mileage reimbursements, interior decorating, a charter plane flight to a Bears game and sports tickets he resold for profit.”

“Schock struck a deal with prosecutors in March, which put his case on hold for six months during which he was required to meet certain conditions and remain under court supervision.”
