I wonder if FOX News will spend much time on BLINGHAZI
Donor bought Rolex watch for Virginia Gov. McDonnell, people familiar with gift say
A prominent political donor purchased a Rolex watch for Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell, according to two people with knowledge of the gift, and the governor did not disclose it in his annual financial filings.
The $6,500 luxury watch was provided by wealthy businessman Jonnie R. Williams Sr., the people said. He is the chief executive of dietary supplement manufacturer Star Scientific and the person who paid for catering at the wedding of the governors daughter. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because of an ongoing federal investigation into the relationship between Williams and the McDonnell family.
Williamss gift came in August 2011 about two weeks after he met with a top state health official to pitch the benefits of his companys health products at a meeting arranged by first lady Maureen McDonnell, according to people who know of the meeting.
Williams bought the watch at the urging of Maureen McDonnell, who admired Williamss own Rolex and suggested that he buy her a similar one she could give to her husband, the people said. Her proposal occurred moments before the meeting she had arranged with the state official, according to one person familiar with the request.
