FBI probes Virginia governor’s failure to disclose gifts from campaign donor

Federal investigators are looking into the connections between Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and a campaign donor that runs a health supplements company in the state, four unnamed sources told The Washington Post.

The Post learned that Star Scientific CEO Jonnie R. Williams Sr. and McDonnell appear to have unusually close ties after the company disclosed that it had been subpoenaed in a federal securities investigation. Sources speaking off the record reportedly said that investigation has now turned to undisclosed gifts given to McDonnell and his wife Maureen, and whether they responded with favors in turn.
