U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, the San Diego Republican, admitted Tuesday that he illegally misused campaign funds for personal expenses, becoming the second GOP House member in two months to confess to committing a crime in office.
Hunter, 42, pleaded guilty in federal court to a single count of conspiracy three weeks before he was set to go to trial on charges that he and his wife dipped into almost $250,000 in campaign money for expenses ranging from family vacations to school tuition and dental work.
