California's Hunter pleads guilty, faces 5 years

California Rep. Duncan Hunter faces five years in prison after pleading guilty to misusing campaign money.

Hunter, 42, changed his not guilty plea in federal court in San Diego today.

He gave a brief statement outside court saying he failed to properly monitor campaign funds.

He had denied wrong doing for more than a year. He claimed he was the victim of a political witch hunt by federal prosecutors.

Prosecutors say he and his wife misspent more than $250,000 in campaign money. Margaret Hunter pleaded guilty earlier this year and had agreed to testify against her husband.
