CA Rep. Duncan Hunter Indicted for Campaign Finance Violations
--------------------------------------------------------------

Republican California Congressmember Duncan Hunter, the second member of
Congress to endorse candidate Donald Trump, has been indicted for
campaign finance violations along with his wife, only weeks after the
first congressmember to endorse Trump, Chris Collins of New York, was
also indicted. Prosecutors say Hunter and his wife misused campaign
funds for personal expenses, including expensive vacations and their
children's school tuition. Hunter is up for re-election in November. His
challenger is up-and-coming progressive candidate, 29-year-old
Palestinian-Mexican-American Ammar Campa-Najjar.
