From the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Gov. Bob McDonnell’s state-appointed legal team has billed the state $90,068 for work performed in June.
That brings the tab for taxpayers to about $143,598, including an
initial $53,530 that the firm billed for the services of former
Attorney General Anthony F. Troy and other staffers from Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott.

McDonnell is facing state and federal investigations relating to
gifts he received from Jonnie Williams Sr., a wealthy donor and the CEO
of Henrico County-based Star Scientific. In May, a Richmond Circuit
Court judge granted Cuccinelli’s office permission to withdraw from
prosecuting the Schneider case. The attorney general’s office said it
faced conflicts because it could be forced to cross-examine witnesses
that it technically represents.
