Inside Aaron Schock’s fundraising: The Marco Rubio connection

A federal grand jury in Springfield investigating former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., is exploring his relationships with his very best donors.

And one example of the way Schock used his deep Illinois donor base to raise money and expand his influence was a lavish fundraiser in central Illinois last Aug. 19, marketed as “Aaron Schock’s Summer Sit Down 2014.”

The event’s “special guest” was Sen. Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican who launched his presidential bid in April.

Rubio will be in Chicago on Tuesday for his first major Illinois fundraiser since announcing his White House run; it takes place at 11:30 a.m. at the Union League Club.

Word on the political beat is this is about to become a huge FBI situation for Rubio. There's too much crossover in this situation. Finding lots of information on this situation. Will keep you posted. Cheers.
