McDonnell Probe Widens

Federal authorities are asking Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell’s (R) associates “about previously undisclosed gifts given by a campaign donor to McDonnell’s wife that total tens of thousands of dollars and include money and expensive designer clothing,” the Washington Post reports.

“The questions are part of broad federal and state investigations into gifts to the governor and his family and whether McDonnell took official action on behalf of anyone who gave gifts.”
