Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) said federal investigators have questioned him about his connection to dietary supplements company Star Scientific’s CEO.
In an interview with NBC 12 Cuccinelli said he had been question by authorities in connection to Jonnie Williams, the CEO of the struggling company.
Star Scientific has been the target of a federal probe. Questions have been raised about Cuccinelli’s connection to the company because he bought a substantial amount of Star Scientific stock.
In August, news broke that McDonnell also owned substantial stock in the company prompting questions whether he unethically used his position as Virginia governor to help the company and therefore benefit himself.
