Since Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, and his wife, Margaret, were charged a week ago on 60 counts in a federal indictment alleging they spent some $250,000 in campaign contributions on lavish vacations, meals and personal items, the couple has been in the news often but only the congressman has spoken publicly in interviews.
Hunter has said the corruption charges are politically motivated and meant to undermine his re-election campaign.
On Thursday, Hunter said of his wife to a Fox News reporter: “She handled my finances throughout my entire military career and that continued on when I got into Congress. … She was also the campaign manager. Whatever she did, that’ll be looked at too, I’m sure, but I didn’t do it.“ He added, "I didn’t spend any money illegally.”
