A political watchdog group says Congressman Aaron Schock “crossed the line” by receiving more than 100-thousand dollars in payouts from his campaign fund for expenses including luxury hotel stays and exercise videos.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, CREW for short, says its study found more than half the members of Congress have used campaign money to enrich themselves in some way.
A Schock spokesman says some expenditures were billed to the campaign in error and were reimbursed, but the other expenses were legitimate and legal.
