WASHINGTON, March 20 (UPI) -- Disgraced Illinois Republican Rep. Aaron Schock is being probed by federal prosecutors and the FBI over allegations the congressman misused public and campaign funds.
The former rising star of the GOP announced he will resign from Congress effective March 31 after questions arose over the cost to redecorate his lavish Downton Abbey-inspired office, campaign funds used for personal trips, fabricated mileage reimbursements and alleged unethical business dealings with donors.
