Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) confirmed Monday he will plead guilty on campaign finance violations charges on Tuesday after months of saying he is innocent.

“My trial was set for January 22; that’s not going to happen now. On tomorrow, on Tuesday, I’m going to change my plea to guilty. I think it’s important not to have a public trial for three reasons, and those three reasons are my kids,” Hunter told KUSI News.
