McAuliffe in ‘shock’ over FBI investigation of campaign money, personal finances

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Washington Post:

BOYCE, Va. — Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) said he is “very confident” that the FBI will find no wrongdoing in its investigation of donations to his 2013 campaign and his personal finances.

 

The governor said he reacted with “shock” to news of an investigation by the Justice Department.

 

“No one had outreached to us,” McAuliffe told reporters Tuesday after a bill-signing at the state arboretum. “Listen, you get leaks and things happen in the business. As I say, I’m very confident.”

 

CNN first reported the inquiry, saying that investigators are looking into a six-figure contribution that Chinese businessman Wang Wenliang made to McAuliffe’s campaign through his U.S. businesses.

 

But a federal official told The Washington Post federal investigators are looking broadly at donations to McAuliffe and at his personal finances

 

Attorneys for McAuliffe’s 2013 gubernatorial campaign carefully reviewed all donations, the governor said.
