(POLITICO) The Federal Bureau of Investigation has begun interviewing people close to Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock, signs of a criminal investigation and serious legal trouble for the Republican congressman, according to sources familiar with the probe.
Schock, a 33-year-old Republican, announced he would resign at the end of the month after allegations of misspending campaign and political funds.
A federal grand jury in Illinois has been hearing evidence related to this case and is scheduled to receive testimony from witnesses next month, according to sources familiar with the issue.
