AP reports:

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Thursday he’s not surprised by allegations of prostitution in the corruption case involving former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, a former committee member.

Chairman Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said he has discussed the matter with authorities and expected to raise the issue with an independent investigator he has hired to review Cunningham’s committee work.

“If I’m trying to connect dots, this is not a surprising outcome,” Hoekstra said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Hoekstra also said he expected his committee to wrap up its investigation into Cunningham’s activities within “weeks.”
