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.

Duncan Hunter’s wife agrees to cooperate with prosecutors, pleads guilty to misusing campaign funds
snip
In pleading guilty, she is acknowledging that, overall, they spent more than $200,000 in campaign funds for personal use.
No wonder his wife pleaded guilty and is co-operating with the prosecutor.
Funny how John McCain did this for years and got a pass.
Pretty cheap. My last ski vacay with the kids cost nearly $3k
If you work on the Hill, you can’t miss the June avalanche of stunning and available recent graduates looking to follow in the career path of Kamala Harris.
But you got out of bed.
LOL
Well, when you are shacking up with your mistress, you probably aren’t buying too many lift tickets.
Disappointing. Hunter has been a pretty reliable conservative vote.
$1,000 dollar ski vacation? Cheapskate.
He needs to go,simple as that!
His wife was charged with him to begin with and now is pleading guilty.
However, an arch conservative in CA, son of his father hated by all Leftists in CA, I would not be surprised if this is all a set up and he did none of it. Our Federal DOJ/FBI is truly scum, especially in DC, NY and CA.
No worries! The 0bammy DOJ holdovers will play the "Ted Stevens" card on him.
Right. They're playing the "Ted Stevens" card, because they can't "ballot harvest" enough to get his seat.
Yeppers. Here's Hunter's electoral record in his CA district:
2012 - 67.6% 2014 - 71.2% 2016 - 63.5% 2018 - 51.7%"On August 21, 2018, a federal grand jury of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California indicted Hunter and his wife on 60 counts of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations, and conspiracy."
Two words:
"Ted Stevens"
This is one of the few seats the CA Demmies haven't been able to get with ballot harvesting, so their Bammy holdover pals in the DOJ dropped these charges just before the 2018 election.
It would be wonderful if we could boot out every politician who cheated on their wives. Anybody who cant be loyal to their wife or family is not going to be loyal to the American people.
“He needs to go,simple as that!”
Considering his wife pled guilty to a charge, you might be right.
However, he deserves his day in court. Right now, his attorney is seeking a dismissal.
Also, even if everything they are accusing him of is 100% true, I would still prefer him over any California Democrat.
So, if he gets replaced, let’s make sure it is not with someone worse.
