Davis not Cooperating in Ethics Probe

The office investigating U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock over allegations the Illinois Republican violated campaign fundraising laws says freshman Congressman Rodney Davis isn't cooperating with the probe.

A report released Wednesday by the Office of Congressional Ethics indicates Davis refused to cooperate. Davis is a Republican from Taylorville.

In a statement Friday, Davis emphasized the report doesn't accuse him of any wrongdoing.

Schock is accused of soliciting a $25,000 contribution last March from House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's political action committee for PAC backing of U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger. Federal law prohibits contributions of more than $5,000.

Schock has denied any wrongdoing.

The report says Davis was the contact between Schock and several PACs. Davis was then part of U.S. Rep. John Shimkus' staff.
