Mike Blake/Reuters Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) arrives for a hearing in his trial at federal court in San Diego, California, on July 8, 2019. The court docket in Hunter’s case also indicated on Monday that Hunter has a change of plea hearing set for Tuesday morning, as first reported by The San Diego Union-Tribune. Hunter’s wife previously pleaded guilty in the campaign finance scheme, admitting that the couple used campaign funds for a wide variety of family expenses, including flying their pet rabbit around. Hunter also used campaign money to fund extramarital affairs, according to federal prosecutors. The plea that I accepted is misuse of my own campaign funds, of which I pled guilty to only one count,” Hunter told KUSI.
