Press Release
San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after the indictment of Congressman Duncan Hunter on charges related to the falsification of campaign finance records and the misuse of campaign funds:

"The charges against Congressman Hunter are further evidence of the rampant culture of corruption among Republicans in Washington today.  Once again, one of President Trump's earliest supporters in Congress has broken the public trust and abused his position to enrich himself and his family.  Speaker Ryan must immediately call on Congressman Hunter to resign, and affirm that no one is above the law.

"The American people deserve better than the GOP's corruption, cronyism, and incompetence.  Democrats' For The People agenda means enacting tougher ethics laws to crack down on the GOP Congress and Administration's self-dealing and ethical blindness.

"While House Republicans enrich themselves and their special interest donors, Democrats are committed to cleaning up corruption to make Washington work for everyone."
