Former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock loved the good life — from trips on private planes to skybox seats for Chicago Bears games to posh office furnishings. He once had a $5,000 chandelier installed in his government office where, as a rising Republican star, he supposedly conducted the people's business. What he liked less, according to federal prosecutors, was opening his own wallet. In a sweeping 24-count grand jury indictment handed up Thursday in Springfield, prosecutors lay out in gripping detail charges accusing Schock of using House and campaign funds to support his lavish, jet-setting lifestyle. The alleged crimes — theft of government funds, fraud, making false statements and filing false tax returns — began soon after Schock first entered the House of Representatives in 2008 and continued after he resigned last year. www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-aaron-schock-indicted-20161110-story.htmlCharges include: Nine counts of wire fraud Six counts of filing false tax returns Five counts of filing false reports with federal election officials Two counts of making false statements One count of theft of government funds And one count of mail fraud
