David culver has the latest from outside the courthouse. Reporter right now former governor Bob Mcdonnell is back on the stand under cross examination. What the prosecution is trying to do is establish that mcdonnell was very involved with his familys finances and at one point there was a desperate need for money, money that eventually came from Jonnie Williams. This morning mcdonnell answered questions from his wifes defense attorney. The judge asked him to speak up. Maureen mcdonnells attorney continued with the Defense Strategy of portraying a marriage on the rocks and a busy husband who was detached from his wifes personal financial dealers. The former governor testified that publicly she handled responsibilities well but privately the way she dealt with me and treatment of the staff was unacceptable and we needed to do better. Mcdonnell said in 2012 his wife got Mental Health treatment. When asked do you think you did enough with your wife to help her . Mcdonnell replied i should have done more. Did maureen make effort for you to do something, anything in exchange for gifts and loans from Jonnie Williams and mcdonnell responded no. Being inside that courtroom is fascinating. When you walk in you notice it is packed filled with us, members of the media, family and friends of the mcdonnell and every day folks who want to see it in person.
