nia-malika said there hasn t been anything illegal disclosed yet. but when you look at something strange, governor mcdonnell said that since this gift to his daughter was to his daughter it didn t need to be disclosed. but isn t it strange that someone would pay for the wedding of one s daughter? i mean, you don t pay for your own daughter s wedding? this guy, as you said, paid $15,000. but the washington post reports when williams, the donor, overpaid the total catering bill, the $3,500 refund check to the catering was made out to maureen mcdonnell and not to williams or the newly married couple. which means they paid the governor s wife the money back, not the daughter who got married or her new husband. and not back to the guy who overpaid, williams. it s a little strange to me. well, it s all very curious.
any laws. now this probe is trying to figure out if, in fact, the governor has given any incentives, any financial incentives, to his friend to promote this company. so far there isn t any evidence of any wrong doing. but it certainly doesn t look good in terms of the governor having to come out and say, listen, folks in virginia, you can trust me. that there hadn t been so far any evidence of a quid pro quo. but we do know this is an ongoing investigation. that s the ultimate question that these fbi investigators are trying to answer. now, in addition to gifts, jonnie williams, the owner of the company, he was a big campaign contributor to mcdonnell. he and his company gave mcdonnell and his political action committee more than $120,000 in publicly disclosed campaign donations and gifs. as your paper the washington post promotes, this supplement was really important to the
