RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC/ABC/AP) — According to a CNN report, Gov. Terry McAuliffe has been named the subject of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and prosecutors from the Justice Department’s public integrity unit.
Federal authorities have been looking into whether donations made to McAuliffe’s campaign to become governor may have violated federal law, a source with knowledge of the probe told ABC News.
As part of the FBI’s review, agents have looked at McAuliffe’s time associated with the Clinton Global Initiative and contributions from foreign nationals such as Wang Wenliang, a prominent Chinese businessman who reportedly holds U.S. permanent residency and donated $120,000 to McAuliffe’s campaign.
The investigation is questioning whether donations to his gubernatorial campaign violated the law, the officials said.
McAuliffe wasn’t notified by investigators that he is a target of the probe, according to the officials.
As part of the FBI’s review, agents have looked at McAuliffe’s time associated with the Clinton Global Initiative and contributions from foreign nationals such as Wang Wenliang, a prominent Chinese businessman who reportedly holds U.S. permanent residency and donated $120,000 to McAuliffe’s campaign.
“Contributions to the campaign from Mr. Wang were completely lawful,” McAuliffe campaign attorney Marc Elias said in a statement. “The Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it.”
Wenliang is a former delegate to China’s National People’s Congress. Former federal prosecutor Chuck James tells 8News that it’s unlikely the probe will turn up evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
“Mr. Wang, as I understand it, does have a green card,” James told 8News, “and would be allowed to contribute to this or any other political campaign.”
According to ABC News, an FBI spokesperson declined to comment on news of the probe, which was first reported by CNN.
