(Peoria, IL) — A new set of federal prosecutors will handle the case against former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock from here on out. The Justice Department yesterday removed a team of central Illinois prosecutors from the case. It’s a rare move, but the latest in a series of twists in the case against the former Republican from Peoria. Earlier this month, the judge in the case was reassigned after emails showed that he communicated with prosecutors.
