Former Gov. Bob McDonnell’s attorneys are asking for access to some Virginia State Police records.

In a motion filed Wednesday, McDonnell’s attorneys ask the court to issue subpoenas for state police communications — internal, or with the U.S. Attorneys’ Office, or with any other state or federal agency regarding “any potential or actual investigation” of the former governor, his immediate family, or his subordinates, or of Jonnie R. Williams Sr., Star Scientific, Inc., or its employees or affiliates.

They seek communications from Jan. 1, 2010 to the present.

The attorneys are also seeking documents regarding any potential or actual investigation of the former governor, his immediate family, or his subordinates, or of Williams, Star, or its employees or affiliates, including memoranda and typed or handwritten notes, in the same time frame.

Also Wednesday, lawyers for McDonnell said they have filed under seal declarations — statements by lawyers for each of the McDonnells — in support of their motion for separate trials.

McDonnell and his wife face a 14-count indictment stemming in part from more than $165,000 in gifts and loans they accepted from Williams, who at the time was CEO of Star Scientific. The McDonnells have pleaded not guilty.
