NEWS ITEM: Congressman Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock is resigning from Congress amid controversy over alleged unethical spending of campaign contributions and taxpayer money.
Schock says that “constant questions” have become a distraction and made it too difficult for him to serve the people who elected him.
Revelations of extravagant spending (including his Downton Abbey-inspired office), questionable payments to donors, and inappropriately categorized expenses landed Schock under the microscope.
New details emerged about a business deal between a political donor and a shell company that has been linked to Schock – raising even more suspicion of potentially dishonest practices.
EDITORIAL: Actually, my favorite part of this story was when initially queried about his questionable spending of tax dollars, he responded on camera “Haters gonna hate.” No, you child, reporters gonna report.
