Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), under FBI investigation for potentially misusing campaign funds, has spent $336,664 on seven law firms this year, The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.

Hunter has spent $152,859 in capital and $114,412 in debt to seven law firms in the San Diego and Washington, D.C., areas since March, according to his latest campaign finance report.

The lawmaker raised about $155,625 in the same time frame.

Hunter can use campaign funds to pay for legal defense of himself, family or staff if the alleged crimes are related to the campaign or his job as an elected official, the L.A. Times notes.
