US Congressman indicted after reportedly spending $1500 of campaign funds on Steam games

California Congressman Duncan Hunter was indicted by the US Department of Justice last night, following a year-long investigation the politician was charged with campaign finance fraud. Hunter and his wife were both charged for the misuse of $250,000 worth of funds for personal expenses. Chunks of that money have gone on all sorts of things - a quick scan of the charges against Hunter and his wife show money used to buy lunches for their children, as well as a trip to Hawaii. What we’re particularly interested in, however, is that the couple are charged with having spent more than $1,500 of their campaign funds on Steam games. In the full indictment, which you can read here (via PC Gamer), a search for ‘Steam’ brings up five results. The first of those reads that “about March 16, 2015, in Alpine, California, the Hunters spent $19.99 in campaign funds at Steam Games to pay for video game charges.” It goes on to say that this was one of 82 separate occasions throughout 2015 that the Hunters did so, racking up a total bill of $1,528 paid out from their campaign funds.
