Cuccinelli broke no laws in late filings, prosecutor says
BY JIM NOLAN
Richmond Times-Dispatch
RICHMOND -- Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli solicited and initially neglected to disclose thousands of dollars in gifts from Jonnie Williams Sr. and troubled dietary supplement company Star Scientific, but broke no laws, a prosecutor's report today says.
The investigation has also found no evidence that Cuccinelli, who also initially failed to disclose his ownership of more than $10,000 in Star Scientific stock, "in any way, promoted supported or assisted Star Scientific while he had a financial interest in the company."
The findings, released this morning by the office of Richmond Commonwealth's Attorney Michael N. Herring, are a significant political boost for Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for governor this year. The attorney general has been dogged by Democrats over his affiliation to Williams and his company -- at the center of ongoing state and federal probes involving Gov. Bob McDonnell and the gifts received by his family.
