Days after he left office, former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R ) and his wife, Maureen McDonnell, were charged Thursday in federal court with illegally accepting gifts, trips, and loans from a Virginia businessman and political donor, according to The Washington Post.

Prosecutors had spent months investigating the relationship between the McDonnell family and Jonnie Williams, the now-former CEO of an embattled dietary supplements company called Star Scientific. Williams gave McDonnell and his family more than $150,000 in gifts and payments in recent years, at the same time that McDonnell and his wife took steps to support the company.

When their ties to the businessman became a public scandal in 2013, the McDonnells returned the gifts and repaid the money given to them by Williams.
