Virginia Governor under FBI investigation by Mattie Whisler 9th period Flex

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe is under FBI investigation due to some recent suspicions about where the donations for his gubernatorial campaign came from. Officials have said that McAuliffe has not been told that he is under investigation although his attorney assures that he will cooperate. Investigators have been looking into McAuliffe's involvement in the the Clinton Global Initiative. The investigation has been centered mainly around McAuliffe and electoral campaign donations. Mainly the donation from Wang Wenliang, a Chinese businessman. He donated $120,000 to McAuliffe's campaign and also $2 million to the Clinton Global Initiative. Donations from foreign nationals to benefit a federal, state, or local election is against the law.  Although Wang has permanent resident status so he is allowed to donate to McAuliffe's campaign.
