House Ethics Panel Tells Rep. Duncan Hunter To Stop Voting

The transcript discusses the case of Hunter, a member of the House of Representatives, who pleaded guilty to misusing campaign funds. This plea triggered a House rule preventing him from voting. Hunter spent campaign money on personal expenses, including a vacation and flying a pet rabbit. Despite his guilty plea, he has not announced plans to resign. He was removed from committee roles in 2018 and faces sentencing in March, with a potential five-year prison term, though a lesser sentence is expected.
