McDonnell mum on chef’s claims

RICHMOND — Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) declined on Thursday to discuss allegations that the governor’s adult children had taken large quantities of food and liquor from the mansion to their own homes or dorm rooms.

“There’s a lot that I’d like to say about that,” McDonnell said. “But there’s a pending criminal case. These are allegations made by a defendant in a criminal case. I believe that the prosecutors in that case will handle that case well, and I’d refer any question on that to them.”

"n the court filing, Schneider made a records request that suggests that first lady Maureen McDonnell and their five children had taken more than they were entitled to from the mansion kitchen. "
