Lawyers for Rep. Duncan Hunter say evidence that focuses on his infidelity isn’t necessary for a jury to evaluate the corruption case against him.

Lawyers for Rep. Duncan Hunter want a federal judge to reject an attempt by prosecutors to introduce evidence that the congressman used campaign funds to finance a string of extramarital relationships, a court filing said Friday.

Allegations about the married congressman’s affairs were outlined in a government court filing Monday, connected to charges he and his wife illegally spent more than $250,000 in political donations on trips, meals and other personal expenses. They said “nearly every expense” listed in the prosecutors’ motion Monday seeking to introduce the evidence “was incurred in connection with a legitimate political activity.”

Didn’t he use campaign money for his mistresses upkeep? 🤔
