After appearing to put the blame on his wife last week, indicted California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter said Tuesday he wants prosecutors to leave her out of the ongoing legal fight.

Hunter told the 10News, the San Diego ABC affiliate, that he wants investigators to focus on him.

“It’s me that they’re after, they want to take me down,” he said. “That’s what they’re up to. So let’s get this in the arena and have it settled.”

Hunter did not answer any further questions about his financial situation or his Democratic opponent Ammar Campa-Najjar.

The remarks come after Hunter told Fox News last week after he and his wife Margaret were indicted that she was in charge of his finances, “So whatever she did, that’ll be looked at, too.”
