LOS ANGELES - A California congressman accused of misusing campaign funds spent some of the money on extramarital affairs, prosecutors said in court papers that indicated his wife could testify against him at trial.
Hunter, who represents an inland area of San Diego County, and his wife, Margaret, are accused of spending beyond their means and taking more than $200,000 in campaign funds to pay for such expenses as private school tuition for their children, a holiday in Italy and restaurant meals that often cost hundreds of dollars.
Those expenditures included hotel and bar fees for a 2010 “double date” to Virginia Beach with a female lobbyist during which another congressman came along, a 2011 golfing trip with the lobbyist, and Uber fares, prosecutors said in the filing.
