Republican front-runner Donald Trump returned to Virginia Wednesday to sit down at Regent University with Pat Robertson, who founded the conservative Christian school.

At Regent, Trump pointed out former Gov. Bob McDonnell in the audience and called him a "fantastic person." The audience gave a loud round of applause for McDonnell, whose appeal of his corruption convictions could come before the Supreme Court in April.

McDonnell, who previously attended Regent's campaign forums with former Florida Gov. Jeb. Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, was one of the roughly 700 spectators on hand for the Trump visit. McDonnell holds a law degree and a master's in public policy from CBN University, now Regent.
