Neither the Governor now his former campaign has knowledge of this matter, but as reported, contributions to the campaign from Mr. Wang were completely lawful. The Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it.

Wang also donated $2 million to Clinton’s foundation.

McAuliffe now becomes the second consecutive Virginia governor to be investigated by the Justice Department.

Republican Bob McDonnell was convicted on federal corruption charges but has appealed his conviction in the U.S. Supreme Court.
