Indicted former Rep. Aaron Schock has asked a federal judge to move his case from Springfield to his hometown of Peoria, Illinois, saying it has "virtually no connection" to the state capital.
Schock was indicted earlier this month on 24 counts, from wire fraud to filing false mileage reimbursements to filing false tax returns. He resigned from Congress after POLITICO asked him about thousands of dollars in questionable mileage reimbursements.
