McDonnell Says His Daughter Returned $15K Wedding Gift

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) speaks on CBS's "Face the Nation" in Washington on Feb. 24, 2013.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) said Wednesday morning that his daughter has returned the $15,000 gift given to her by donor and Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams Sr. that paid for catering at her 2011 wedding, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

This announcement comes a day after the embattled governor said that he plans to return all gifts he received from Williams.

McDonnell also said Tuesday that his other daughter had already returned the $10,000 wedding present Williams gave her.

Correction: Jonnie Williams Sr. is Star Scientific’s CEO, not CFO. We regret the error.
