no doubt there will be questions for terry mcauliffe.ake back there as soon as this gets under way. eric: peter schweitzer is the author of "clinton cash." he was chairman of mrs. clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. and is one of the closested a advisers the clintons have. what does this mean and how serious is it? >> when you talk about an insider's insider in the clinton network you are talking about terry mcauliffe. the reporting is it's focused on these campaign contributions from a chinese national who apparently has permanent residence status in the united states, in wang. this investigation began in may at the same time the f.b.i. also began investigating the clinton foundation. if they are just investigating whether mr. wang was entitled to make these contributions, a year is a long time to investigate a simple question like that. my instincts tell me this is probably part of a broader probe looking into the clinton foundation and whether there were favorable actions taken for the benefit of people who donated to the clinton fo

it's getting very, very ugly stuff. >> terry mcauliffe is a top clinton ally. but this is the company that she keeps. they are full of corruption, scandal and she doesn't ware where the money comes from. the clintons since 2001 have earned $150 million in speaking fees alone. when it's broken down to 22 of these groups are lobbying the state department directly while she was secretary of state. of course, it's pay to play influence. that's what's exposed in the book. these groups and organizations know they can get access to one of the most powerful positions in the country through the clintons and that's just not fair. charles: jessica, it doesn't pass the smell test. >> it's a little stinky of course. i don't anyone even the most vehement hillary clinton supporters wouldn't say they wish it wasn't so. charles: isn't it pay to play? >> peter schweitzer said there is no evidence or link he can draw that profts it's pay to play. the "new york times" did their own investigation and they are unearthing these connections. this doesn't affect democratic voters. >> i

which has been investigating that since january of this year has clearly come across the name of terry mcauliffe because in the years that mrs. clinton was secretary of state mr. mcauliffe was on the board of one or more of the clinton entities. what did he do to move money around if at all? if they were just looking at his campaign contributions, why did they subpoena his income tax returns? so i don't know the answers to these questions. i don't know -- deirdre: there are a lot of tennis balls to chase. >> corrects. deirdre: the idea of peter's concept of the pay to play. if so he would be in real trouble. >> government would be very interested in that. peter and others have set forth for the fbi in documents may public so the fbi clearly has them, almost inasailable cases of pay for play with respect to mrs. clinton. i do not know of one with respect to governor mcauliffe. but if they have been examining him for a year, there is obviously something there and they haven't finished the examination. deirdre: what do you think of the timing of this, judge? not just because of peter's book? >> no,

leon: very goes terry mcauliffe is -- virginia governor terry mcauliffe is fighting back against claims he violated election laws while trying to become governor. jeff goldberg is on capitol hill. he has new information for us on the story. jeff, what have you learned? jeff: the governor is strongly denying he attempted any illegal campaign contributions. he said they have not been contacted by the federal investigators. he was in town today with previously scheduled meetings and press events n ending here with an event at the capitol, focusing on metro. this morning the governor was across the river talking about par role programs but the reporters talked about something else. the arrival at a morning event in alexandria was not expected to draw much attention. >> press gaggle, hang on, whoa, whoa. jeff: until news broke yesterday of federal investigation into governor terry mcauliffe's dealings with the donors. >> first, i haven't alleged wrongdoing. jeff: the f.b.i. and justice department review donations from the businessman wang wenliang. a chinese national and american citizen who

jummy: terry mcauliffe in alexandria today on the new details about a federal investigation into his campaign donations. a live report coming up in a few minutes. challenge at a congressional hearing today about improving metro safety and reliability on the transit system. news in with breaking fairfax county, arrest and a weekend robbery, shooting, and carjacking, now in custody, we learned there are two suspects, both in police custody, we are live in fairfax where we just heard from police. franklinr-old william and 26-year-old jasminder sethi both from waldorf were arrested but not in fairfax county, franklin arrested at his home in waldorf and jasminder sethi arrested at newark airport in new jersey, unclear where he may be attempting to go but they credit fbi, prince george's county police, u.s. customs and border protection and the new york-new jersey port authority for assisting. the arrest come after saturday's brazen at dubai jewelers on the 7000 block of brookfield plaza in a busy shopping plaza. an officer on routine patrol responded to the call, challenged the suspects w

this morning, we got kind of a standard pr blast from the office of the governor of virginia, terry mcauliffehe state seal there and everything. governor mcauliffe announcing a new movie to be filmed in virginia, starring adrian grenier from "entourage." it's a movie called "public affairs." it's described as a political thriller about sex and danger and blackmail and politics and thrilling things. and that exciting and scandalous story out of virginia was never going to make the show tonight, until later on today, after the news meeting, we got the very surprising news that governor mcauliffe is the focus of some real-life political drama himself. nbc news has now confirmed that the fbi is looking into whether terry mcauliffe accepted illegal contributions during his 2013 campaign for governor, specifically the fbi looking for the past several months into whether his gubernatorial campaign accepted contributions that were illegal. the fbi is reportedly particularly interested in contributions from a chinese businessman, who once held political office in china, but who now has permanent resid

. >>> terry mcauliffe is under a federal investigation regarding campaign donations.go addressing questions about this fbi probe. >> there's no allegations of wrongdoing. they're entitled to do an investigation. it relates to this valid donor who had been a green card holder since 2007 and we fully vetted him. >> were you aware of these allegations prior to the report yesterday? >> no. >> msnbc's kasie hunt joins me with more on this breaking story. what else did the governor say? >> jose, good morning. that was terry mcauliffe just earlier this morning talking for the first time about an investigation that he didn't even know was happening. and of course that investigation looking into donors to his 2013 gubernatorial campaign. one in particular that's been identified, a chinese politician and businessman, but who does have u.s. permanent resident status, which would make him eligible to be able to give campaign donations. but some of these questions, jose, a little bit more broadly involve terry mcauliffe's connections to the clinton family, and particularly the cli

virginia democratic governor terry mcauliffe reportedly now under federal investigation pertaining to his campaign contributions. he's a friend and political ally of the democratic presidential front-runner hillary clinton. john harwood joins us now from washington. what exactly could this investigation mean, if anything, for the clinton campaign? i believe he ran one of bill clinton's presidenti campaigns. >> terry mcauliffe has been one of the leading fund-raisers, the leading fund-raiser for bill clinton for quite a long time. for hillary clinton as well. they raised money for her in the 2008 primary campaign that she lost. he has served on the board of clinton foundation. so if this investigation results in charges and the charges have anything whatsoever to do with bill and hillary clinton's political enterprises, including campaigns or the clinton foundation that would be very bad for hillary clinton. after all, donald trump has been making his campaign theme that she's crooked hillary. but we've got to caution there are no charges even against terry mcauliffe yet, just an ongoi

if you have a small mom and pop business and you want to go on -- >> that's terry mcauliffe talking toy, nbc news confirming that his campaign, his 2013 campaign for governor in virginia is being investigated right now. mcauliffe there saying, look, the fbi is entitled to that. we'll cooperate with any investigation. kasie hunt has been following this. she's in our newsroom. obviously terry mcauliffe, a major figure in democratic party politics. the governor of a key swing state. also a very close ally. maybe the closest ally there is to bill and hillary clinton. >> that's right. and so good questioning there from nbc's von hilliard about the clinton foundation and what you heard the governor talking about. we'll focus on that investigation, involving a chinese businessman who is a u.s. green card holder. therefore, eligible to donate to american campaigns. still that investigation focused on mcauliffe specifically. the bigger picture here is his close tyce ies to the clinton family. the chairman of hillary clinton's campaigns previously. chairman of the dnc during clinton's tenure. yo

they're looking into whether terry mcauliffe received some illegal campaign contributions about three years ago. it's a toward our northern virginia bureau chief julie carey caught up with the governor in our area. governor terry mcauliffe says he'll be out, quote, in full force in the wake of news that the fbi and justice department is investigating whether he received an illegal campaign contribution in his run for governor in 2013. he proved his point today with two stops in northern virginia. the governor was swarmed by local and national media during a visit to alexandria's probation and parole office. mcauliffe says he was unaware an investigation was under way until news broke earlier this afternoon. >> according to media reports, the investigation concerns campaign donations from this man, wealthy chinese businessman wen liang wang who also sits on the nyu board of trustees. mcauliffe says his campaign attorneys vetted wang and found the contribution was legal. >> what's your level of confidence that you have not taken illegal campaign money? >> 100%. all i firms who did the v

the: what do you and campaign think about terry mcauliffe's ethics?rian: i have nothing to say on that. mark: do you have any reasons to believe he would do anything wrong? brian: i have no average of the report. mark: i'm just asking you to say what a great guy terry is. john: i am sure you are aware of the instagram video donald trump posted. mark: you have not looked at a -- brian: i watched it. john: what did you think of it? brian: this is the latest in his strategy to try to distract from and issues based campaign. which is what we intend to run here. to be honest, i think it is bad strategy. i have seen smart republican operatives go on television and say they have tested these lines of attack and they alienate independent voters, especially women. every day he spent engaged in this type of stuff is a misspent opportunity for him. john: is it the campaigns plan, when he raises these issues, your plan to go through the whole campaign and respond in this way? we will not dignify that with a response. brian: these allegations were litigated two de

>> he contributed $120,000 to terry mcauliffe's 2013 campaign and inauguration.s a guy who you could read reports on-line about his name is wang lang. he's closely linked to the chinese government, member of the national people congress, contractor who's building some embassies for china but also a permanent u.s. resident, which is important here because foreign citizens can't make political contributions or contribute to u.s. elections, but him having u.s. permanent resident status makes him eligible to donate to mcauliffe so that $120,000 contribution may be at its face is not a problem but there could be other problems with it. >> of course governor mcauliffe's attorney quick to say that mr. wang is a legal resident, has the ability as you indicated to contribute to terry mcauliffe's gubernatorial campaign. that seems to be an easy issue to resolve. seems to be more questions since this has been a year-long investigation you're reporting that investigators are looking into his own personal finances. what have you learned on that front? >> that's what we unders

soon as it happens. >>> clinton family friend and former campaign chairman, virginia governor terry mcauliffebject of a federal investigation. alleged campaign finance violations is the topic. one wealthy chinese businessman's contribution to mcauliffe's campaign are being examined. illegal for foreign nationals to donate any money to any u.s. election. mcauliffe maintains that the chinese billionaire has a green card. a new report from the capital research center that finds mcauliffe has extensive ties to former soviet official. the question is whether he exploited the controversial connections for personal gain. with me is the chief investigative officer steven allen. steven, welcome. how does hillary clinton's brother, anthony rodham, how is he linked to mcauliffe to the questionable russian tie? >> well, terry mcauliffe ran for governor in 2009 and successfully the second time in 2013. he was trying to burnish his credential as a businessman and didn't have business experience except he was the largest fund-raiser in history at the time for the clintons in the 90s. so he was involved in t

terry mcauliffe has been the bad guy for the clintons for decades.s going back and forth to china for the clintons. this long- term has less impact on hillary clinton than today's news that she openly broke the e-mail laws and rules of the state department and the fact that she has to defend being the third term of barak obama which is a direction the country doesn't want to go in. >> it is true that hillary clinton and the mcauliffe has been intertwined for a long time. it would seem that problems on him reflect on her? >> i am not so sure if that was the case that she was conducting or engaged in behavior that is untoward and somehow intertwined as you said with any perceived wrongdoing that the governor has done. it is no secret that the clintons and the mcauliffe has a relationship for decades and he was a strong fundraiser and head of the dnc for several years. these relationships go back a long time. it doesn't seem like there was any wrongdoing here. and the governor said the individual had had a green card. and so, i guess they will take the

terry mcauliffe. everything should be looked at. the only question is should it be aired in the public arena when it's just an investigation and there isn't a single fact you or i have. in this country we have a presumption of innocence much less being tried in the media on a leaked investigation. i'm very bipartisan here. when senator ted stevens was convicted of a crime and i thought justice department was engaged in misconduct to convicted him. it took eric holder to refuse to reprosecute that senator. if this were about a republican or anyone else, i would be saying the same thing. you have a perfect right doing your job. but the anonymous law enforcement official that airs a quote investigation is doing a larger injustice. martha: the suggestion is the clintons made a lot of money, which is fine. everyone is allowed to make money. but the problem is mrs. clinton is the secretary of state. do you not think that there is a potential conflict of interest there? >> there is definitely an optical problem. they didn't make the money.
