Duncan Hunter's wife agrees to cooperate with prosecutors, pleads guilty to misusing campaign funds
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/13/polit...nia/index.html
Quote:
She acknowledged she was a member of the conspiracy and as part of that conspiracy, she and her husband spent more than $10,000 on a family vacation to Italy on the campaign credit card, knowing it was well outside the family's budget. Duncan Hunter attempted to set up a one-day tour of a naval base in Italy to justify the trip.
In pleading guilty, she is acknowledging that, overall, they spent more than $200,000 in campaign funds for personal use.
A plea agreement for Margaret Hunter released by the government said she would "make a good faith effort to provide substantial assistance to the United States in the investigation and prosecution of others."
