McDonnell’s Wife Treated to Shopping Spree

“In the spring of 2011, Virginia first lady Maureen McDonnell flew to New York and was treated to a high-end shopping spree courtesy of Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams Sr,” the Richmond Times Dispatch reports.

“During the trip, McDonnell spent time at the Manhattan showroom of famed designer Oscar de la Renta, where she tried on a suede jacket that cost at least $10,000. Williams put the garment on his tab. Williams also bought the first lady two pairs of designer shoes, a Louis Vuitton leather handbag and a designer dress.”
