CHICAGO (AP) — Four congressional staffers have told the U.S. House that they’ve been subpoenaed by the federal court in Springfield, Illinois, where a grand jury is conducting a probe into the spending of former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock.
The financial chief for the House, Traci Beaubian, and three other staff members wrote letters notifying the chamber about the subpoenas that were read on the House floor Monday, the Chicago Tribune reported based on House records noting the letters were received and video of the letters being read. The letters did not mention the subject of the subpoenas.
Schock, the one-time rising GOP star from Peoria, came under intense scrutiny in early 2015 for his spending, including redecorating his office in the style of TV’s “Downton Abbey.” He left office in March 2015 amid questions about congressional and campaign spending.
He 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.
Among media reports of irregularities were Associated Press investigations into real estate deals, air travel and entertainment, including trips and events he documented on social media accounts.

This pretty boy looks guilty of all kinds of stuff, even if he isn’t. He’s got that look of a criminal caught in the headlights. He reminds me of Ted Cruz, among others: entitled to the max and appalled anyone would think him guilty of anything, let alone prosecute him.
This has to be the least gay day for the staffers subpoenaed.
Would like to see a current image of Schock…
has any of this been getting the same amount of coverage as BENGHAZI!!! or Hillary’s email scandal on Fox News?
I don’t watch but I’m sure it must get the same ‘fair and balanced’ coverage…
Is he still in a relationship with his ‘staff photographer’ or is he seeing one of the guys from his staff?
