Rep. Duncan Hunter spent $625 on 'flights for a pet rabbit,' report shows

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/09/politics/duncan-hunter-flight-pet-rabbit/index.html

An unnamed staffer told investigators "that at some point after she no longer worked in the congressional office, Rep. Hunter kept a rabbit named Cadbury in his congressional office" that "had a cage in the congressional office," according to the report.

"Rep. Hunter and his wife repeatedly used campaign committee funds for flight costs with no clear campaign nexus, including the cost of flying a pet rabbit," the report states, adding that "in 2014 and 2015, Rep. Hunter's campaign committee spent $625.00 on five separate $125.00 'pet in cabin' United Airlines charges to fly a pet rabbit."
