Sources: FBI questions link between Va. gov, donor

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Two people with knowledge of the situation say the FBI has begun looking at the relationship between Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen and the chief executive of a nutritional supplements manufacturer that is the subject of an investigation.

Federal authorities began questioning people close to the McDonnells as an outgrowth of a securities probe of Virginia-based Star Scientific Inc., said the two people, who spoke Monday on the condition of anonymity because their roles in the case preclude them from speaking publicly.
