RICHMOND, Va. — Former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell is asking a federal court to consider his second appeal.

McDonnell was found guilty of corruption charges and sentenced in January to two years in federal prison.

Since then McDonnell has been trying to get his guilty verdicts thrown out.

This is basically the last thing he can do before asking the US Supreme Court to hear the case.

If the request is denied again, he may be ordered to report to prison later this year.
