SAN DIEGO - Former U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter, who pleaded guilty to a charge of campaign finance fraud, was sentenced on Tuesday to 11 months in federal prison in a corruption case that ended the California Republican’s once-promising political career.
Following completion of his 11-month term behind bars, Hunter is to remain under supervised release - the federal equivalent of probation - for three years, U.S. District Judge Thomas Whelan in San Diego ruled. Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted in 2008 on charges of misappropriating $250,000 in campaign donations to pay for lavish personal expenses. His wife pleaded guilty and named her spouse a co-conspirator last June, the same month prosecutors alleged in court papers that Hunter had spent campaign funds on extramarital liaisons with five women.
