California Rep. Duncan Hunter says he will resign from Congress 'shortly after the holidays'
Hunter and his wife were charged with 60 criminal counts of campaign finance violations in August 2018.
U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter arrives at court where he was expected to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from allegations that he and his wife misused campaign funds in San Diego, California, U.S., December 3, 2019."Shortly after the Holidays I will resign from Congress. It has been an honor to serve the people of California's 50th District, and I greatly appreciate the trust they have put in me over these last 11 years," Hunter said in a statement.
Hunter, who will be 43 on Saturday, was first elected to his seat in 2008. He won again last November with 51.7% of the vote, despite facing indictment. The seat has been held by the family for decades, with Hunter's father in the role for 28 years before him.
