Former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock appeared before a federal judge in Springfield this week to challenge a possible civil contempt citation.
U.S. Attorney's office spokeswoman Sharon Paul says the hearings relate to whether Schock failed to comply with the judge’s order to produce campaign and congressional records.
The matter was postponed, pending a status conference next month.
Paul declined to comment whether this week’s hearings are related to a grand jury investigation into allegations of Schock’s improper campaign spending.
Schock resigned in March amid the accusations.
