Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe Is Being Investigated By The Feds
Close friend of Hillary Clinton and Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe (D) is being investigated by the feds for allegedly accepting illegal campaign contributions.
He is the target of a Justice Department investigation into whether the donations violated campaign finance laws as reported by Fox News.
The probe involves at $120,000 donation from Chinese businessman Wang Wenlliang through his U.S. businesses. U.S. election law prohibits foreign nationals from donating to political races.
McAuliffe’s attorney released the following statement:
Neither the Governor now his former campaign has knowledge of this matter, but as reported, contributions to the campaign from Mr. Wang were completely lawful. The Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it.
Wang also donated $2 million to Clinton’s foundation.
McAuliffe now becomes the second consecutive Virginia governor to be investigated by the Justice Department.
Republican Bob McDonnell was convicted on federal corruption charges but has appealed his conviction in the U.S. Supreme Court.
