Ex U.S Governor To Spend Two Years In Jail For Corruption!

Having being found guilty September 4, 2014, on 11 of 13 federal charges against him, former Virginia governor, Bob McDonnell was on Tuesday, January 6, convicted of trading access to the power of the governor's office for more than $165,000 in loans and high-end gifts, and prosecutors wanted him to spend more than 10 years in federal prison. 

McDonnel was convicted by a jury on 11 charges, while his wife Maureen, was convicted on eight in September 2014. 

"I stand before you a heartbroken and humbled man," McDonnell reportedly said in court.

Maureen McDonnell, who was present at the court Tuesday, is to be sentenced next month.
