Donors had role in Congressman's 2014 property deal

WASHINGTON (AP) - The financial questions about Illinois congressman Aaron Schock keep coming.

Illinois state and county property records show that a shell company linked to the embattled congressman paid a political donor $300,000 last year for a commercial property in Peoria then took out a $600,000 mortgage for the property from a local bank run by other donors.

The newly disclosed arrangement follows similar Schock real estate deals detailed by a recent Associated Press investigation into the Republican's business transactions involving political contributors over the past decade.

The 2014 deal, which occurred after the congressman's most recent financial report, raises new questions about Schock's pattern of repeated reliance on campaign contributors.
