Southern California U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter is seeking funds to run for another term, even though he's been indicted for misappropriating campaign funds.
"Throughout the relevant period, the Hunters spent substantially more than they earned," the indictment read."They overdrew their bank account more than 1,100 times in a seven-year period, resulting in approximately $37,761 in 'overdraft' and 'insufficient funds' bank fees."further says that Margaret Hunter, his wife, would list personal expenses such as new clothes as campaign-related expenses.
"To conceal and disguise the illegal charges, she falsely told the treasurer that they were for gift basket items and a meal with supporters," the indictment said of one such charge. During the trip to Italy, Hunter sought to arrange a trip to a military base, allegedly to justify writing it off as a campaign expense.
"After Navy officials responded that they could only provide a tour on a particular date, Duncan Hunter said he would discuss the proposed date with Margaret Hunter, then subsequently told his chief of staff 'tell the Navy to go f*** themselves,'" the indictment said. Hunter pleaded not guilty to the charges in an August 23, 2018 hearing."I didn't do it. I didn't spend any money illegally," he said at the time, according to
