Ethics office recommends full probe of Rep. Schock

(MCT) — CHICAGO — Congressional investigators recommended a full House Ethics Committee probe of Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., for allegedly soliciting contributions of more than $5,000 for a political action committee to help an Illinois colleague engaged in a bitter primary battle last year, a report released Wednesday showed.

Moreover, the report from the Office of Congressional Ethics also said Rep. Rodney Davis, elected last November as a new Republican congressman from southern Illinois, was a “noncooperating witness” in its investigation into how funds flowed into the PAC, the Campaign for Primary Accountability.
