Terry McAuliffe’s latest scandal just the tip of the iceberg

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the top Clinton operative who holds elected office, is under investigation yet again. This time, it involves $120,000 given to McAuliffe’s gubernatorial campaign by a billionaire who served in China’s communist legislature.

McAuliffe’s business and political dealings have raised questions repeatedly. For example, in the 1990s, as McAuliffe set records raising money for the Clintons, congressional investigators uncovered a Chinese government scheme to funnel money to the Clinton operation through a number of businesspeople, including a man named “Charlie” Trie. In that case, 94 people either refused questioning, pled the Fifth Amendment, or left the country.
