Maureen McDonnell in harsh spotlight | roanoke.com


Maureen McDonnell in harsh spotlight | roanoke.com: "Now, instead of a bicentennial celebration, the mansion is under siege, with Maureen McDonnell in the middle of a furor that has engulfed Virginia’s first family.
...
The mansion itself has provided the backdrop for an ever-growing saga over gifts to the first family from a businessman whose company is under federal investigation for possible securities violations.

The catering for a June 2011 wedding reception at the mansion for one of the governor’s daughters was paid for by Jonnie Williams, chief executive officer of Henrico County-based Star Scientific Inc. Williams’ known gifts and loans to the family now exceed $145,000, much of it previously unreported by Gov. Bob McDonnell.

Less than three months after the reception, the mansion was the setting for a luncheon to launch the marketing of a dietary supplement produced by Star and publicly promoted by Maureen McDonnell."
