Margaret Hunter, the wife of U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., will change her not-guilty plea in a federal case alleging the couple spent campaign funds on vacations and other personal expenses.
Duncan Hunter, an Iraq War veteran and one of President Trump's earliest supporters, and his wife are accused of spending $250,000 for golf outings, trips to Italy and Hawaii, school tuition, theater tickets and other expenses between 2009 and 2016.
Both were indicted on 60 criminal counts related to the misuse of campaign funds and trying to conceal illegal spending.
“We are aware of Mrs. Hunter scheduling a hearing to change her plea,” Gregory Vega, an attorney representing the congressman, told Fox News in an email. “At this time, that does not change anything regarding Congressman Hunter. There are still significant motions that need to be litigated, specifically the speech or debate clause of the U.S. Constitution.”
