SAN DIEGO - U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter, a leading California Republican, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a single federal charge of conspiring to misuse campaign funds in a corruption case that left his immediate political future unclear.
Hunter, 42, a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran and early supporter of President Donald Trump, had originally pleaded not guilty in the case and insisted he was the victim of a politically motivated prosecution. Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted in 2018 on charges of misappropriating $250,000 in campaign donations to pay for personal expenses, including their children’s private school tuition, lavish travel, expensive meals at restaurants, groceries and clothing.
Hunter also indicated, without saying so explicitly, that he would not seek re-election next year to the San Diego congressional seat he first won in 2008, succeeding his father and fellow Republican, Duncan Lee Hunter, who attended Tuesday’s hearing.
Serves him right. Throw the book at him!
Here you go, GOP, Hunter is indeed bent! Apologies for doubting your conspiracy theories.
But he said he was innocent....
Just to be clear, Rep_Hunter: You no longer claim your crimes are 'fake news' and a 'deep state' and 'Democrats' arm of law enforcement' plot against you? Those were just, y'know, lies? Karma4HomoPhobics GOPCriminals
Another republican goes to jail.
CRUSH Corruption on all fronts. It's costing the consumers hundreds of millions of dollars every year. You want to know why your wages are stagnant and you can't afford that car or home? It's because of SMUCKS engaging in corruption.
Trump is next
Do the right thing.
Live the sign behind him!
Swamp 👏🏻
Another one bites the dust..:maybe Nunes is taking notes
