Hunter Indicted for Campaign Violations

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and wife, Margaret, “were indicted Tuesday on charges related to the misuse of $250,000 worth of campaign funds for personal expenses and the filing of false campaign finance records,” CNN reports.

“The charges of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations and conspiracy were the culmination of a Department of Justice investigation that has stretched for more than a year, during which the Republican congressman from California has maintained his innocence.”

The Hill reports it’s too late to remove Hunter from the ballot.
