Hunter previously said he would resign 'after the holidays.'
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) has yet to resign from Congress more than a month after pleading guilty to a felony count of misusing campaign funds raising questions about whether he will follow through with his pledge to leave his seat "shortly after the holidays."
The GOP lawmaker who faces up to five years in prison for his crimes stood accused of using hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaign war chest to live a lavish life that included international travel and private school for his children.
Prosecutors also alleged that Hunter spent campaign funds to carry out extramarital affairs with congressional aides and other women he encountered in his role as a member of Congress a violation of House ethics rules. A year ago, the House voted to ban members of Congress from having sexual relationships with their own employees.
Hunter has refused to elaborate on when he actually plans to resign his seat, only giving the vague promise to leave after the holidays, according to the Associated Press.
