Investigators looking into gifts to Gov. Robert F. McDonnell and his family have asked questions about whether first lady Maureen McDonnell received cosmetic dental work for free, according to two people familiar with the probe.
Federal officials have been investigating allegations that a dentist within the large Richmond-area practice of W. Baxter Perkinson Jr. provided cosmetic dentistry services at no charge to the first lady, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Free dental work would expand the number of gifts that the first family has received and add a new name to what has been a short list of benefactors. It also would fit a pattern of items given to Maureen McDonnell including designer clothing and accessories that appear to have been aimed at polishing her image as first lady.
Until now, most of the gifts that investigators were known to be probing were from Jonnie R. Williams Sr., the chief executive of Star Scientific. They include a $15,000 New York shopping spree for the first lady, a $6,500 Rolex watch for the Republican governor and $145,000 in payments and loans to the McDonnells and two of their bride-to-be daughters.
Investigators also have asked about possible gifts from Del. David I. Ramadan (R-Loudoun), a jeweler who confirmed last month that he had been called to appear as a witness before a federal grand jury in the case.
Perkinson has declined to respond to messages seeking comment, but a woman who returned a call on behalf of his practice and who gave her name only as Marie noted that laws governing the privacy of health-care records would prevent divulging anything about services to anyone.
Were not at liberty to discuss anything, she said.

And cuccinelli has the utter gall to run for governor down there.
Ex clintonite Terry mcauliffe, cooch's opponent, was never a favorite of mine but he is looking like solid gold compared to those gop crooks.
