justice. >> randi joins us now. is there any evidence at all this is politically motivated? looking through thain diemt it's hard to see. >> reporter: no. certainly not in the 47-page indictment at all. but what he's saying, what duncan hunter is saying, is that the prosecutors were involved in this case, had attended a clinton campaign event. but sources told cnn that the guy, the prosecutor who actually chose to indict was appointed by attorney general jeff sessions last year and there's no connection at all to the clinton campaign or campaign 2016. >> he's also saying this is the new department of justice. the new department of justice is run by jeff sessions. >> exactly. who appointed the guy who now has indicted him. so it's sort of an interesting circular argument that he's make. but it's worth pointing out also that his campaign treasurer, duncan hunter's campaign treasurer according to the indictment, had warned him. he had said look, you can't do this, this is against the law. you can't spend campaign funds that people have given you on yourself and your family. and he apparently according to the indictment if it's true told his campaign treasurer, well, that law is silly. that was his quote. >> it also seems like he's distancing himself from his wife in his public comments so far.
