California Rep. Duncan Hunter used campaign funds for extramarital affairs, prosecutors say

, alleging they financed a lavish lifestyle of travel, fine dining, gifts and other expenses by illegally using campaign money, then filed false reports with the Federal Election Commission to cover it up.

Rep. Hunter declined Tuesday to respond to the allegations and gave no sign that he would seek a deal with prosecutors to settle the case. Prosecutors approached Hunter about making a deal “that would eliminate the need to introduce this potentially sensitive evidence at trial,” they wrote in the filing. Hunter’s attorney declined.despite facing the criminal charges — alleged that prosecutors were targeting him for his political beliefs. In a filing Sunday, his lawyer argued that the prosecutors had backed Hillary Clinton in her 2016 presidential bid and said the case should be dismissed.

Prosecutors included highly detailed descriptions of Hunter’s alleged affairs with five women — none identified by name.

Going to jail. I’m sure Daddy and the US Marine Corps are proud of you.

And then blamed it all on his wife. Good guy.

The best people!

Class acts these politicians..

Republicans and democrats alike do this. No integrity. They are all robbing the taxpayers blind.

LOL GOP never, ever, ever will they get a vote from me.

No wonder his wife sold him out and took a plea deal. I bet Rep. Duncan Hunter will enjoy being inside a jail cell while his wife will probably only get probation..

Good riddance Mr. Hunter.

LOCK HIM UP!

What is a charitable trust?

He’s going to get a pardon. No reasonable defendant would move forward with trial with the overwhelming evidence against him. The rule of law is dead.

Him realDonaldTrump the GOP and the TrumpCrimeFamily LockThemAllUp

The party of traditional family values. Right here!

How did this guy get re-elected?
