The documents listed evidence about Hunter's relationships with:

+ Individual 14 - a lobbyist,

+ Individual 15 - a staffer who worked in the office of a member of the House leadership,

+ Individual 16 - a staffer in his Congressional office,

+ Individual 17 - a lobbyist,

+ Individual 18 - a lobbyist.

The court submission sometimes left little to the imagination, as it noted Hunter engaging in "intimate personal activities" with these individuals, which was not related to his campaign or duties as a lawmaker.

The release of the information by prosecutors came as lawyers for Rep. Hunter asked the judge in the case to exclude a number of pieces of evidence, as Hunter has alleged he is the victim of a political persecution.

"The investigation of Congressman Hunter by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California began shortly after his public endorsement of candidate Trump," Hunter's lawyers wrote in one of a series of evidence challenges, alleging that two prosecutors involved in the case were supporters of Hillary Clinton.

"Any explanation the Government gives now for initiating the investigation of Congressman Hunter should be viewed with total

skepticism through the lens of their attempts to cover up the partisan political activities of the prosecutors that initiated the investigation," lawyers for Hunter added.
