Justice Department prosecutors alleged on Monday that Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) used campaign contributions to have multiple extramarital affairs, including a $1,000 ski vacation with a female lobbyist.
According to the court filing, Hunter started using the campaign funds to carry out a series of intimate relationships with five women soon after he first entered office in 2009.
The first woman (Individual 14) was a lobbyist. For about three years, Hunter dipped into his campaign contributions to pay for a couples ski getaway (which cost more than $1,000), a road trip to Virginia Beach, and hotel stays, according to prosecutors.
After their relationship ended in 2012, the GOP lawmaker allegedly carried out affairs with four other women until at least 2016at his donors expense.

I always thought that it was the lobbyists that bribed the politician.
Live and learn.

The people running the federal agencies and DOJ are partisan Dims and leftists.
This is why changing executives doesn’t make much difference with respect to the behavior of these unaccountable agencies. See also Steve Stockman.
We need drastic reform here. Juries must say no to the prosecutors and any of the evidence presented by these people.

If the female lobbyist were 12yo and Hunter a Dem, this would be no story
To: Coronal
Hunter dipped into his campaign contributions Sounds like he dipped into more than his campaign stash.
To: goodnesswins
Is lobbyist another word for prostitute?
You are confusing lobbyist with member of Congress. A lobbyist is more akin to a pimp. And once again a Republican makes the whole party of family values moniker a punchline, much like drain the swamp.

Sounds like a certain Texas Senator........

Politicians need to start learning how to keep it in their pants. Seriously. Sexual affairs do not come back to bite you later on if you don't have any.
Follow the Mike Pence Rule and you won't even have to worry about false allegations of affairs that you cannot disprove.

You’re right on this.
And didn’t congress use 17 Million of our dollars to settle sex related lawsuits?
If this was a D, he’s be walking.
And i’m sure campaign donations have been used in worse ways :)

...For about three years, Hunter dipped into his campaign contributions.... Hunter did a lot of dipping, it appears.
Lowlife loser, if true.
I wonder if his wife will be at his side, in public appearances/court appearances, now?

including a $1,000 ski vacation with a female lobbyist ************************************************************ Did they stay in a closet? Two nights with minimal travel expenses, it's doable.
