Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te Kawana o mua o Virginia, a Bob McDonnell, i tuku i tana tono whakamutunga ki te kooti amuamu ā-rohe i te Wenerei, e tautohe ana ko nga mahi pai i mahia e ia mo te tangata pakihi whai rawa he tikanga noa iho, ehara i te waahanga o te kaupapa tinihanga. Ko te whetu o te Rōpū Reipa e piki haere ana i te wā i puta ai te tautohetohe i roto i te tuhinga 54-whārangi i te 4 o nga Kooti Whakapā o te US. Ka whakahaerehia e tētahi rōpū kaiwhakawa tokotoru o te marae he whakarongo ki tana tono mo ana whakataunga pirau tūmatanui i te 12 o Mei. PANUI I RĀNUI mō ngā ataata. Ko te Kawana o mua o Virginia a Bob McDonnell i whawhai i nga roimata i waho o te whare kooti a-rohe i muri i tana whiunga mo te hoko i te mana o tana tari ki te Tumuaki o tetahi kamupene taapiri kai. I whiua a McDonnell ki te rua tau i roto i te whare herehere ā-rohe mo te pirau tūmatanui. I whakawakia a McDonnell me tana wahine, a Maureen, i roto i te whakawakanga tahi i te marama o Hepetema mo te whakaae ki te neke atu i te $ 165,000 i roto i nga taonga me nga nama mai i te Tumuaki o Star Scientific Inc. a Jonnie Williams hei utu mo te whakatairanga i nga taapiri kai a tana kamupene. I whakawhiwhia a Bob McDonnell ki te rua tau ki te whare herehere, me tana wahine ki te kotahi tau me te ra kotahi, engari kei te noho noa ratau i a raatau e whai ana i nga tono motuhake. 'Kāore a Kawana McDonnell i oati i tētahi mea, kāhore hoki i mahi i tētahi mea i tua atu i te whakawhānui atu ki a Williams i ngā momo tikanga o te wā o ngā māngai pōti puta noa i te whenua ki ngā kaiwhakawāhi me ngā kaiwhakawāhi i ia rā,' i tuhituhi ngā roia a McDonnell i roto i te rēhitatanga whakamutunga. I urupare rātau ki te tuhinga a te kāwanatanga e akiaki ana i te kōti kia mau tonu ngā whakataunga hara. Ko te wahine tuatahi o mua a Maureen McDonnell, maui, i whiua ki te tau kotahi me te ra. I whakaatu a Jonnie Williams, Tumuaki o Star Scientific i raro i tētahi kirimana ārai mate, e whakaae ana i utua e ia te kāwana ki ngā utu nui hei utu mō te āwhina ki a ia ki te tautoko i te whare wānanga mō tana hua'maimoatanga whakamiharo' o Anatabloc. I tuhia e ngā kaituku i roto i tētahi tono 93 whārangi ki te kōti, ko ngā mahi a McDonnell e hāngai ana ki te whakamāramatanga o ngā'mahi mana' he pai ake i ērā i tangohia e te mema o mua o Louisiana, a William Jefferson, e noho ana i te whare herehere mō te 13 tau mō...
I whakamahia e Bob McDonnell tana tari hei āwhina i tētahi kamupene tāpiritanga kai i whakanuia e te tumuaki ki a ia me tana wahine. E tautohe ana ōna roia kāore ia i mahi i ngā'mahi mana' mō Star Scientific, he kamupene i rapu tautoko mō tana tāpiritanga 'Anatabloc'. I whakawhiwhia a McDonnell ki te rua tau ki te whare herehere, ā, kotahi tau me te ra i whiua ai tana wahine; kei te wātea rāua e rua e tatari ana ki ngā kerēme. E toru ngā kaiwhakawa o te kōti ā-rohe e whakarongo ana ki te tono a te kāwana o mua i te 12 o Mei.
