“Appeals court won’t reopen suit against McAuliffe, Tony Rodham
By JOSH GERSTEIN 06/12/2019 07:56 PM EDT
A federal appeals court on Wednesday turned down a bid to revive a lawsuit accusing former Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia and Hillary Clinton’s late brother, Tony Rodham, of swindling Chinese investors out of $17 million they plowed into an electric car company through a program that promised residency in the U.S. and the possibility of American citizenship.
The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Richmond, Va., upheld a ruling from a federal judge in Alexandria who said the suit wasn’t specific enough about how allegedly misleading and false statements from McAuliffe and Rodham induced the Chinese nationals to invest in the project, known as GreenTech Automotive.
Under U.S. law, foreigners can receive green cards through a program known as EB-5 if they invest $500,000 in approved projects in distressed or rural areas. Critics have said much of the money has been used to subsidize projects in downtown areas not struggling economically.
McAuliffe resigned from the green car company before he was elected governor in 2013. He has described the venture as a legitimate startup that hoped to create much-needed jobs in America while promoting environmentally friendly transportation. Aides have blamed McAuliffe’s political opponents for the lawsuits he has faced relating to the company’s failure.
McAuliffe toyed for a time with joining the crowded 2020 Democratic presidential field, but announced in April that he’d decided against a run. POLITICO reported last month that he is considering running for Virginia governor again in 2021.
Hillary Clinton announced on Twitter over the weekend that Rodham, the younger of her two brothers, died Friday at age 64. No cause of death was given. A footnote in the court’s opinion noted Rodham’s passing, but said it didn’t affect the case because the judges decided to keep in place the lower-court decision tossing both McAuliffe and Clinton from the suit.
