Prosecutors: Rep. Duncan Hunter used campaign money for affairs

US attorneys are alleging Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) used campaign funds to pursue extra-marital relationships with five different women — including lobbyists and congressional staffers. CNN's Tom Foreman reports on the new allegations that come as Hunter's wife, Margaret, agreed to cooperate with investigators.

    1. Trump 2020 … it’s tooth 🦷 or teeth 🦷. Maybe you should be somewhere learning to spell and not on YouTube exposing your ignorance… 😐

    2. +Leonaza Yeah, that’s right. And if a hardworkin congrssman has the the campaign funds to support, 2, 3 or even four families, hey, tnat’s eve more family values, right?

    3. Shame on all of boys (yes, I said BOYS) for talking to a woman like this!! Disgusting!
      Speak your mind Leonaza girl

    4. @Ned Delley are youtaking about Billy Clinton or JFK, not sure. Pretty sure Biden like to touch little girls.

  1. The Republican Party has a long history of producing corrupt politicians. Trump of course sets the new standards.

    1. @Anderson Cooper yes, like trump a lair a cheater a pedophile for his own daughter a thief a traitor all of this is wrapped up in the pos trump.

    1. Hillary Clinton was given millions for her campaigns,I’m positive she spent every penny accordingly, those TV ads cost gazillions…not one bit crooked 😉

  2. This is the guy who tried to throw his wife under the bus and it turned out she wasn’t even getting the benefit of all this stolen campaign money! Republicans are filth.

    1. @Mike Smith doesn’t matter. CNN is still a more respected channel than the state TV opinion show’s at faux knews where “we distort, you deride “.

  3. What a dirt-bag! He & his wife went on a massive spending spree with money that did not belong to them & he throws the wife he was screwing around on under the bus. Why is he still in office??

    1. @Leonaza7 I think you, I and the rest all know why he’s still in office and may very well remain there: He’s a Republican under Trump’s reign. Vote, vote, vote! Get the young people you know to vote! The 18-24 yr old demo is the least likely to vote and the most likely to vote against Republicans when they do vote! Get them out there! Social studies, history, government teachers & professors: give them an incentive in your classes to vote!!

    2. @Steve Austin Thanks for providing an example of just how braindead and morally bankrupt Republicans are.
      All the things you mention are LEGAL and CONSTITUTIONAL. But keep getting butthurt about “transgender bathrooms” (idiot — your HOUSE has unisex bathrooms… this isn’t some radical new concept) while turning a blind eye to Republicans like Hunter who has broken at least THREE COMMANDMENTS.
      Thou shalt not commit adultery. ✔️
      Thou shalt not kill.✔️
      Thou shalt not bear false witness. ✔️

      So yeah, Republicans’ commitment to their faith is as fake as their marriage vows.

    1. @Mark Dice The same way in that those people haven’t committed any crimes, you fucking moron.

    2. @Mark Dice You forgot big foot, the lizard people and the IllumUnutty. I mean come on…they spend so much time spinning these theories for you guys the least you could do is list all of them…

  4. I was able to get a peek at Duncan Hunters defense and they plan on blaming it on Obama and Hillary. If that starts to fail his lawyers plan on bringing up benghazi or Hillary’s 30,000 missing emails.

  5. “Being one of the earliest congressional backers of Trump” – says it all – next will be the pardon messages.

    1. The guy having an affair supported the guy having an affair. Who hangs out with a billionaire (Robert Kraft) getting a rub ‘n’ tug. He also hired a guy that let a human sex trafficker serve time in jail during the day and go home at night and on weekends. Hmm those QAnon weirdos were onto something, only it wasn’t “libs” but their own party. The call was coming from inside the house…

    2. In fact, Hunter was the second congressional backer of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Who was the first? NY Rep. Chris Collins, who was indicted last summer on insider trading charges. I believe both will stand trial on the charges brought against them later this year. Hunter’s facing a 60-count indictment. That’s right. A SIXTY-count indictment. It’s so bad that Darrell Issa, who retired last year, may unretire and run for Hunter’s seat next year if he’s convicted, resigns, or is expelled from Congress. KGTV, the ABC affiliate in San Diego, reported that a few days ago.

    1. @Steve Austin real simple. There is no god. You and those on the right use religion to try to show how much better you are. It doesn’t work, you are wrong on most things in life. LittleDick is going down.

    2. @Trump 2020 I’m so scared. There is no god, there is no hell, except the one LittleDick and his republicon comrades have put us in.

    1. @Trump 2020 you forget that the dems are raising money “grass roots”. As in not corporate donations. Whoops. Looks like the swamp is flooding with 26m from corporate donors, and probably a sprinkle from Putin. Just wait until they release the donation information. It won’t be much longer.

    2. @Jonathan McConaughey thanks for the list. I’ll be saving this for more idiots who think trump and anyone associated are fucking saints.

    3. @Trump 2020 Because nobody who watches CNN gives a damn. How much of that money was from corporate sponsors? You are also correct. trump will lies in 2020 the same way that he has lied every day since he went for President.

    1. @Owen Lubic ideologies between parties changed, it’s basic history 101. Plus, that same party now opposes reparations for slaves, proof of the pudding. (Disclaimer: I’m not black nor would get reparations)

    2. @Pam M , it is not a scare tactic to call Socialists who ARE “Socialists”, a Socialist that is what they are. But it is immoral to call people Racist just because you disagree with them as a “scare tactic”. NOT SCARED HERE. Those who would point out grammar are not only lacking in credible rebuttal, but also believe whatever their dirty Socialist handlers have told them verbatim.. FDR was not a Democrat Socialist . Just because you have one or two Socialist programs does not make you a Socialist. There is no such damn thing as a Democrat Socialist. You are either a Socialist or you back them which is the same thing. Quit with the NPC Scripted lies. Quit with the Alexandria “CowFarts” Cortex asinine bovine scatology.

    3. Democrats out here encouraging child sex changes,I’m not sure either side has any values…no matter who wins,we all lose 😉

    1. Mark Dice oh “EVERYBODY” Mark, “EVERYBODY from California is moving to Texas & Florida?” Stop sounding like a high school girl “EVERYBODY has one!!” The people moving to Texas & Florida are most likely FROM those god awful states to begin with and it’s probably better that they do go home.
      🤦🏻‍♀️

    1. Tomorrow he’ll tweet out: this was nothing, I had many many more mistresses than that. I’ve had more mistresses than any president ever…believe me.

    2. Deeugh Folte
      That’s hilarious to me, not the crotch grappler DT. I say yea let’s watch this play out in court, let the public see just exactly what and who he has done. Is this part of the swamp that DT was campaigning on, when he said that only he can fix Washington. Conservatism in its finest moments.

  6. “I support the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as the legal union between one man and one woman.”

    — Duncan Hunter, on his “Family Values” page.

    1. Doctor Thirteen- <—— here’s the obligatory idiot supporting the criticism of the OP against a Republican viewing marriage as between a man and a woman and ignoring it when a democrat says the exact same thing. Look, she denies her hypocrisy too!

    2. Doctor Thirteen it’s only whataboutism when it’s a prime example of leftist hypocrisy.

  7. He was already indicted when he was re-elected in a district just outside of San Diego. What is wrong with this picture? Republicans would rather vote for a criminal than a Democrat. Sounds familiar.

    1. @Alexander The Great No, there hasn’t. But, just to see what bullshit you pull, list your source.

    2. @Gunsandrosalina Padtwo there are no liberal Democrats in national politics anymore. They are all radical leftists.

  8. Didn’t he throw his wife under the bus also???😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

    1. Yep he said any financial irregularities was her fault, now we know where all the irregularities were coming from

    2. I took a charge for my gf and actually went to jail for it… I took the Xanax gave them to the coo when he walked up and politely asked him to arrest me away from me kids.. and he was shocked and did so🤣🤣🤣

    3. I’m guessing this info was used to get her to plead guilty and probably turn state’s evidence.

  9. Duncan Hunter then accused his wife of stealing the money. Trump will surely make him his czar for ethics and conservative values. 😂
    Republicans are the AB-SO-LUTE worst!!!!
