Very few Friends of Bill and Hillary have been as close to the Clintons as Virginia’s Gov. Terry McAuliffe — so it’s no surprise to see him neck-deep in a corruption scandal.

A longtime confidante of both Clintons, McAul­iffe is a top fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign; he also chaired her 2008 White House bid. Heck, he personally secured the $1.35 million loan so they could buy their Chappaqua mansion.

And he also co-chaired Bill’s 1996 re-election campaign — which was hit with record-setting fines for a huge fund-raising scandal involving illegal contributions from Far East foreign nationals.

Now McAuliffe himself reportedly is under federal investigation over (among other things) campaign donations from a Chinese billionaire, Wang Wenliang.

The governor at first tried to downplay any connection, suggesting he’d never even met Wang and “wouldn’t know the man if he sat in the chair next to me.”

Oops: Time magazine reported Thursday that McAuliffe personally invited Wang — who is also a delegate to the Chinese legislature — to Hillary’s DC home for a 2013 fund-raiser.

Wang had just given $60,000 to McAuliffe’s gubernatorial campaign. Soon after, he sent a check for $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation — on whose board McAuliffe sat. In all, Wang’s companies have given the foundation as much as $5 million.

Wang, it appears, was looking to collect connections all over for his many US-based businesses. His counsel, Mark Fung, told Chinese TV that “if you really want to influence US-China policy,” you need “emphasis and influence on the state level.”

Better still, obviously, if you can get it with a close friend of a past president and a possible future one.

That’s Clinton World for you: a whole network of people reeking of corruption.
