[quote]Former Congressman Aaron Schock was indicted Thursday for 24 alleged violations of federal law including theft of government funds, fraud, making false statements and filing false tax returns. Schock, 35, quit Congress in disgrace last year after first being elected in 2008. James A. Lewis, the U.S. attorney in Springfield, said in a news release that Schock defrauded the federal government and his campaign committees and covered up his actions with false statements, claims and invoices. "These charges allege that Mr. Schock deliberately and repeatedly violated federal law, to his personal and financial advantage," Lewis said. "Mr. Schock held public office at the time of the alleged offenses, but public office does not exempt him or anyone else from accountability for alleged intentional misuse of public funds and campaign funds." Schock's alleged misconduct occurred from 2008 through October 2015, the prosecutor said. The allegations said Schock "engaged in a scheme to defraud the government, his campaign committees, and others for his direct personal benefit and for the benefit of others," Lewis said. The ex-lawmaker "allegedly repeatedly submitted and caused false and fraudulent claims, invoices, and vouchers" to the U.S. House for payment as well as three different campaign committees: Schock for Congress, the Schock Victory Committee and the GOP Generation Y Fund, he said. Schock allegedly generated income to himself, which resulted in a loss of more than $100,000 to the government, the campaign committees and others, Lewis said. Schock also is accused of filing false federal income tax returns for tax years 2010 through 2015. That involved the failure to report additional income he received, the prosecutor said.[/quote] [url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-aaron-schock-indicted-20161110-story.html]Chicago Tribune[/url]
