RICHMOND

Expecting to rest their case today in the federal corruption trial of former Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, prosecutors introduced evidence Wednesday that sheds new light on the couple's finances and level of communication during the height of their interactions with businessman Jonnie Williams.

Credit card records of the former first couple indicate that they had a $75,000 balance on seven cards as the governor took office in January 2010 - a figure that rose to a high of $90,000 in September 2010.

Additionally, tax returns of a real estate entity owned by Bob McDonnell and his sister showed losses of more than $40,000 each year in 2009 and 2010.

Prosecutors have argued that financial pressures motivated the McDonnells to strike a corrupt bargain with Williams, soliciting more than $160,000 in loans, gifts and luxury vacations in exchange for promoting his diet supplement business from the governor's mansion.

1. Don't fire the help

Let's not forget how this all started.

Bob would be swimming in cash right now if he had just held on a few more years.
