WASHINGTON — Federal court documents unsealed on Monday revealed that former Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., sought an immunity deal with prosecutors in exchange for the production of subpoenaed campaign and congressional records.

Schock did not secure the broad order of immunity he wanted as the newly released court filings show months-long wrangling between Schock’s legal team and the Department of Justice over the production of records.

At issue for Schock: His lawyers argue that he does not have to produce records that may incriminate him.

Schock lawyer George Terwilliger III wrote to Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Bass, based in downstate Springfield: “We have endeavored to work with you the past several weeks to identify the most efficient means for you to obtain the records you seek without infringing upon Mr. Schock’s Fifth Amendment rights.”

Schock’s bid for immunity is just one of several revelations in the filings — which lift some of the veil of secrecy surrounding the grand jury probe of Schock, even with portions redacted.
