Prosecutors have accused the congressman of funding five romantic relationships with women involved in politics, including lobbyists, aides to leadership members and even one of his own staffers.
Republican Representative Duncan Hunter, currently awaiting trial for allegedly spending $250,000 in campaign funds illegally on vacations and personal expenditures, also improperly used funds to"pursue a series of intimate personal relationships," according to prosecutors in a new court filing late Monday night.
"Among these personal expenses were funds Hunter spent to pursue a series of intimate personal relationships," prosecutors allege in new court filings."This evidence is necessary to establish the personal nature of the expenditures... to demonstrate Hunter's knowledge and intent to break the law, and to establish his motive to embezzle from his campaign.
In March, the two allegedly took"a weekend 'double date' road trip to Virginia Beach with their friends, one of whom was also a congressman," prosecutors said. There, Hunter allegedly spent $905 in campaign funds for a hotel bar tab, among other things. "They paid the $455 hotel bill, for all three nights, using campaign funds," prosecutors said."In describing this expenditure to his campaign treasurer later, Hunter never explained the reason he kept the first night at the hotel."
"The two occasionally spent nights together at his office, and Hunter took [the staffer] out to socialize with his friends, using campaign funds to pay for their dates," prosecutors said. Those expenses also allegedly entailed bar tabs and Uber rides.
