Hunter, an early congressional backer of President Trump’s, was indicted last week on charges of using campaign funds to pay for personal expenses.

“Leave my wife out of it, leave my family out of it,” Hunter told San Diego news channel KGTV in a brief interview on Tuesday. “It’s me they’re after anyway. They’re not after my wife; they want to take me down, that’s what they’re up to. So let’s get this in the arena and have this settled.”
