On January 6, 2015, McDonnell, the first governor of Virginia to be arrested or guilty of a felony, was sentenced to two years in jail followed by two years of supervised release.
During the ensuing appeals process, however, he was released on bond.
McDonnell's conviction was unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court on June 27, 2016 and the case was remanded to a lower court.
The Justice Department announced that they would not press charges against the former governor and his wife less than three months later, and that they did not prosecute the case any further.
