Web site backing McDonnell seeks funds for his legal costs - The Washington Post


Web site backing McDonnell seeks funds for his legal costs - The Washington Post: "“That is an effort to start a process of having citizens of the commonwealth remember that they really like this guy and he has been a really good governor,” Galen said. “We want people to remember he’s done really good stuff, really bipartisan stuff.”

Investigators are exploring the McDonnell family’s relationship to Star Scientific chief executive Jonnie R. Williams Sr., who gave gifts to the first family at a time when the governor and first lady Maureen McDonnell promoted its dietary supplement, Anatabloc. McDonnell did not disclose some of Williams’s largess. State ethics laws, among the most permissive in the nation, allow office-holders to accept gifts of any value but require disclosure of those worth more than $50. Gifts to immediate relatives do not have to be reported."
