Prosecutors agree to drop all charges against ex-Rep. Aaron Schock if he repays taxes, campaign committee
Former Rep. Aaron Schock of Illinois admitted in federal court as a part of a deal with prosecutors in his corruption case that he purchased World Series and Super Bowl tickets at face value and sold them for a profit of more than $42,000.
After the hearing, Schock said he made mistakes, such as record keeping, but said they weren't crimes. He said"part of that was because I was working my tail off" representing a large congressional district that includes more than 200 communities. Schock appeared Wednesday morning in Chicago federal court where he agreed to repay his three campaign committees nearly $68,000. He must work with the Internal Revenue Service to determine how much he owes in taxes. If he holds up his part of the deal, prosecutors will drop the original felony counts that were filed against him within six months.
Schock told reporters after Wednesday's court hearing that"there was never an attempt by me or my staff to commit crimes."Former Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock is scheduled to appear in court for the first time since the U.S. Supreme Court declined to get involved in his corruption case.
