and other assorted illegal spending. He is still a proud GOP dude and pals with the Donald (for now).
His wife was thrown under the bus and now has flipped on her criminal husband and will be testifying against him.

"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 childrens school tuition. Mondays 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."
"Hunters wife has pleaded guilty and agreed earlier this month to cooperate with prosecutors. Prosecutors also filed motions to permit Margaret Hunters testimony to be used at trial, which is slated for September 10."
"Evidence of Hunters negative bank balances, overdue mortgage payments, credit card debts, and other aspects of their depleted financial condition is relevant to proving his motive, intent, knowledge, and absence of mistake in spending campaign funds for personal use," prosecutors wrote. "It explains why he himself used campaign funds to buy everything from cigarettes to gadgets to groceries to getaways things he wanted but could not afford to buy with his own money."

(6,709 posts)After he threw her under the bus, sounds like she returned the favor and backed over him to boot.
I doubt if she had any kind of an awakening other than saving her own ass, but I'll take it.
