FORMER CLINTON FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBER

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe is under dual federal investigations regarding campaign donations from Chinese billionaire Wang Wenliang.

Did This Chinese Billionaire Try to Buy Hillary Clinton and Terry McAuliffe...?

Virginia’s party boy-turned-governor Terry McAuliffe, a longtime friend and confidant of the Clintons, is being investigated by the FBI and Department of Justice for potentially taking illegal campaign contributions.

The governor’s office told CNN, which broke the story, that it was not aware the investigation was under way and that it would cooperate if asked. Details are vague, but the investigation involves Chinese billionaire businessman Wang Wenliang, who now has the rare distinction of causing problems for both McAuliffe and Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. It’s complicated—and it highlights just how much Clinton and McAuliffe’s questionable shared connections haunt their political dreams.

The investigation also involves the Clinton Foundation, according to CNN. CBS reported last year that Wang’s company, Rilin Enterprises, pledged in 2013 to give the organization $2 million. CNN noted that there is “no allegation” of impropriety on the foundation’s part and that McAuliffe formerly served on its board. Last year, the foundation’s decision to accept Wang’s company’s pledge drew pointed criticism because of Wang’s ties to the Chinese government—the billionaire used to be a delegate to the country’s parliament.

Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer said on Fox yesterday:

"I would dare say I think the Terry McAuliffe investigation is about more than just the question of foreign donations."
