7:34 am
called to stricter gifts to politicians in virginia.irginia. there's a couple of thingsf that might be surprising about. first of all governor mcdonald has been scandal free, high marks for his time in office in virginia. it's a surprise n this is the the first significant controversy to arise over mcdonald regarding ra anything that smacks of imappropriateimpropriety.imp >> overall he has been seen as conservative, but basically a very earnest sort of almost wanky kind of politicians, poli certainly never had they never h reputation as a governor of being sort of slippery and thiss looks sort of slippery. >> wasn't surprising things isgs if you want to ask, were any any rules broken and all of thatf tt kind of thing? there aren't a whole lot off rules.

>> the rules are very weak in virginia on gift giving. givi >> you can give a gift to a politician in virginia. can you give as of money as you want to a politician, as long as it's diss cloughed. in this case it wasn't disclosed, and mcdonald's defense is that it wasn't -- the gift wasn't to him.t it was to his daughter, and herr husband as a wedding present. but a couple of things have come out of that that raise questions about that. most important thing is that as ity americaeit emerged by my cot the post. mcdonald put down the deposit di of almost $8,000 for the catering, and he signed theigne contract for the catering, and e he is saying, oh, this was just a gift to my daughter. daug >> right. >> well, he was involved in it, so the -- it's a little litt questionable about that.onable a but thboeut laws are extremely . i mean if it's a gift to a to a

in addition to this money for ne the wedding reception? >> so that also raises eyebrowsy >> very briefly kim cutchineli.i his name has come up. up. >> it's the same company but a a different issue. the main issue is that he did not report when the -- two issues, he did not report thattt he had a stock holding in star r scientific when it went above av the threshold.ethre if you own $10,000 in stock, then you need to disclose it. he bought -- or he bought the bg stock on two or obtained stock k on two different occasions, andd when it went above the $10,000 threshold he didn't disclose it, but star scientific was involves with a legal dispute with theite state, and he is the attorney an general representing the state.t he did not recuse himself untill basically all of this, you know,
