Aaron Schock is back in the news, and he's dragging his 'friend' with him

Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) joined his close friend Aaron Schock on campaign and government trips and exotic vacations in 2014 that are being scrutinized by federal investigators looking into alleged spending abuses by the former congressman, who resigned in March.
...
In May 2014, Schock organized an educational and cultural trip, paid for by the Brazilian government, that included Smith and Reps. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) and Patrick Meehan (R-Pa.), according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The four lawmakers did publicly disclose the trip, as is required.
But after official business was conducted, Schock, Smith and three of their aides — including Roman and Shea Ledford — headed to the Brazilian beach resort town of Canoa Quebrada.
Later that December, Schock posted Instagram photos of himself, Smith, Roman and Schock’s photographer, Jonathon Link, hanging out at a vineyard in the famed Mendoza wine region of Argentina and whitewater rafting the Andes rivers of Potrerillos. Schock paid Link thousands of dollars in taxpayer and campaign money to snap dramatic photos of him around the country and around the world.
Just some red-blooded, totally heterosexual Republican friends hanging out together at Brazilian beaches and Argentinian vinyards together. No word on whether they went antiquing together.
