On this day, Jan. 21 …

2014: Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, once viewed as a rising star in the GOP, and his wife, Maureen, are indicted on federal corruption charges; the couple denies wrongdoing. (A jury in Sept. 2014 would convict the McDonnells of doing favors for former Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams in exchange for more than $165,000 in low-interest loans and gifts. Their convictions would be later overturned as the U.S. Supreme Court narrowed the definition of public corruption.)
