Watchdog Group Claims Aaron Schock’s ‘Downton Abbey’-Inspired Office May Have Violated House Ethics

WASHINGTON — A watchdog group said on Tuesday that it thinks there’s nothing dapper about the “Downton Abbey”-inspired office decorations of Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.).

It’s not the first time that Schock has been suspected of running afoul of congressional ethics rules. In 2013, the House Ethics Committee investigated allegations that Schock had improperly solicited money for a Super PAC. In that case, the Office of Congressional Ethics found “substantial reason to believe that Representative Schock violated federal law, House rules, and standards of conduct.”
