The *good* Republicans of San Diego re-elected this rotted out POS last Fall, when he was already under indictment on 60 counts of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations, and conspiracy. Prosecutors now have more deets:
Federal prosecutors have accused Rep. Duncan Hunter of improperly using campaign funds to pursue numerous romantic affairs with congressional aides and lobbyists, according to a new court filing late Monday night.
The Justice Department alleged that Hunter (R-Calif.) and his wife Margaret Hunter illegally diverted $250,000 in campaign funds for personal use, including to fund lavish vacations and their children’s school tuition. Monday’s court filings also spell out allegations that Hunter routinely used campaign funds to pay for Ubers, bar tabs, hotel rooms and other expenses to fund at least five extramarital relationships.

Hunter’s wife has pleaded guilty and agreed earlier this month to cooperate with prosecutors. Prosecutors also filed motions to permit Margaret Hunter’s testimony to be used at trial, which is slated for Sept. 10. (our emphasis)You may recall, Rep. "Horny" Hunter's initial defense was to blame his wife for any irregularities. What a man! What a party!
