“The FBI wired a congressional staffer and turned him into a secret informant during its investigation into former Rep. Aaron Schock’s (R-IL) alleged misuse of government and campaign funds,” The Hill reports. “The staffer, who is not named, secretly taped conversations with Schock and people working in his office while Schock was still a member of Congress, according to a 30-page motion and attached memo that cites documents from the court discovery process.” “Schock was indicted last year on 24 counts related to alleged misuse of government and campaign funds.

Defendant Trump reportedly glared at Haberman before leaving court. The internet lit up.
