Collapse of NBA, NHL arena deal prompts recriminations, allegations of impropriety in Virginia

Two men in suits sit next to one another.

Ted Leonsis' handshake deal with Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin to relocate the teams to a taxpayer-backed arena in Alexandria, Va., collapsed Wednesday, weeks after a bumpy slog of a defeat in the Virginia General Assembly.
