Hillary Clinton met with the Chinese businessman at the center of a federal investigation into Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D.) during a 2013 fundraiser at her Washington, D.C. home, according to a Time report.
Clinton shook hands with Wang Wenliang during the Sept. 30 event. Less than a month later, Wang would donate $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation, ultimately pledging a total of $2 million to the foundation throughout the year.
McAuliffe, who was on the board of the Clinton Global Initiative, invited Wang to the fundraiser three weeks after one of the businessmans companies, West Legend Corp., contributed $60,000 to his gubernatorial campaign. The company gave a total of $120,000 to McAuliffes bid.
Wangs representative told Time the event at Clintons personal residence was one of at least three meetings between McAuliffe and the businessman.
Just days earlier, McAuliffe denied ever encountering Wang. The governor vowed that he did no deals with Wang, adding, I would not know the man if he sat in a chair next to me.
He later admitted during a radio interview with WTOP that he had met the businessman once or twice in my life.
Wangs representative told Time that the second meeting between McAuliffe and the businessman occurred at the Virginia state capitol after McAuliffe won the governor seat. The two reportedly discussed expanding a soybean export agreement between Wang and the State of Virginia.
Former South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges (D.) arranged the third meeting between McAuliffe and Wang where they again discussed soybean exports. Wangs company, Dandong Port Co., gave Hodges $1.5 million in 2012 to lobby Congress.
The FBI and Justice Department have been probing McAuliffes campaign fundraising for the past year, CNN reported on Monday. Government officials are investigating whether donations given to his gubernatorial campaign violated campaign finance laws.
The Justice Department refused to elaborate on the probes focus.
As a matter of policy, the department generally neither confirms nor denies whether a matter is under investigation, Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr told Time.
Amazing how the media seems to ignore the stink of the continuing saga of the Clinton Criminal Collusion&Conspiracy, Inc. Corporation.
MSM ARE CROOCKED TOO .( follow the monney )
No wonder
4 am bump!
Watergate, Whitewater, Travel-gate, “Soybean-gate”...
Did this man use Hillary’s bathroom where the Server was located. Could have took a dump and downloaded all US Secrets. Only needed the forward button!
All this says to me is that the kabal is at work and they seldom lose.
Who the heck would willingly “Probe Terry McAnusff?”
Weiner might.
Sorry I answered my own question.
Two Wangs don't make it right...............
Shades of John Huang................
Clinton was working at the behest of American corporations when he was being generous to China.
Eisenhower warned us of the military industrial complex and the damage that could result. Unfortunately, he never said anything about the Political Action Committees which I consider equally harmful. If we enacted some laws that forbade foreigners and corporations from contributing to our election candidates, we could clan up 75% of the corruption and collusion.
We have such laws. They are but paper and seem to have no effect on Democrats. No one even complains any more. Actually there is no way to keep big money out of the process. If the money is there it will be used, foreign or domestic.
You’re only investigating him because he’s Chinese, you racists, you./s
The penalty for treason can be much more than jail. It’s the most insidious crime but so rarely punished.
Which one is which?
Yep, however jail first then the old Chopping Block!!!
You’ve seen one Wang, you’ve seen them all................
That's not a cool Hillary scumbag supporter name.
Bring back "Winkle Paw"!
What will it take to have the ball-less RINOS to put this cow in the slammer?
They are part of the SAME operation.
That explains their actions. (lack of action).
