Aaron Schock, who resigned from his Illinois congressional seat last year amid scrutiny of his spending, expects to be indicted by a federal grand jury, his defense team said Thursday.
Schock's attorney, George Terwilliger, called the expected charges a "misuse" of prosecutorial power by the Justice Department.
"This indictment will look bad, but underneath it is just made-up allegations of criminal activity arising from unintentional administrative errors," Terwilliger said in a statement. "These charges are the culmination of an effort to find something, anything, to take down Aaron Schock.
Federal prosecutors in Illinois were expected to announce charges later today.
