On Monday afternoon, news broke that Virginia’s Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe was being investigated by the FBI for illegal campaign contributions. “We know that this investigation dates back at least into last year and this is looking into donations to McAuliffe's 2013 campaign for governor,” reported CNN’s Evan Perez on The Lead with Jake Tapper. It’s not every day that a sitting state governor gets investigated for illegal contributions, yet none of the big three news networks decided to report it in there evening broadcasts.

In addition to being the Governor of Virginia, McAuliffe is also a longtime friend of the Clinton family. He’s so close to the family, in fact, that he sat on the board of the Clinton Global Initiative. “As part of this investigation the FBI has gone back to look at McAuliffe’s time as board member for the Clinton Global Initiative, that’s the foundation that was set up by former President Bill Clinton and his family,” continued Perez. Although he did mention that there have been no allegations of wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation in this matter, so far.
