Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) was a close political ally of disgraced former Representative Duke Cunningham (R-CA). So with the latest revelations in Duke’s scandal, journalists are again posing uncomfortable questions.
Today local station in San Diego, KFMB, approached Hunter with an interview request. Steve Price, the reporter for KFMB, told us that Hunter’s spokesperson said they’d get back to him. But instead of an interview, all Price got was this prepared statement:
“The congressman knows Mr. Cunningham very well and refuses to believe he would be unfaithful to his wife.”
Calls for comment to Hunter’s office were not returned.
