@Musicman Recently, I heard something VERY interesting about Newsome!!! While he is HIMSELF very clean, he surrounds himself with those who are dishonest, in a Mafia-like network.
Dana Williamson: Newsom’s former chief of staff (who served from late 2022 through 2024) . She was indicted on multiple federal felony counts and later pleaded guilty to charges, including conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. Prosecutors accused her and co-conspirators of illicitly diverting thousands of dollars from a dormant campaign fund, falsifying business contracts to claim pandemic relief funds, and misusing campaign accounts. Critics, including former political allies, have described her operational style as “mafia-like”.
Sean McCluskie: A top political aide who previously worked for Xavier Becerra, Becerra’s chief of staff, and then moved in federal health and human services roles. He pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme orchestrated with Williamson that funneled thousands of dollars from a dormant political account into a fake job for his wife.
Greg Campbell: A prominent Sacramento lobbyist who also signed a plea deal admitting to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud . He admitted to using his lobbying firm as a financial conduit to obscure the illicit payments made to McCluskie’s wife.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom (Governor's Spouse): The Governor's wife runs a 501(c)(3) foundation. Watchdogs and federal investigators have scrutinized her non-profit organization, alleging that large corporations and special interests—such as utility giant PG&E—donated vast sums to her charities while simultaneously securing favorable policy concessions, contracts, and housing subsidies from the state.San Francisco Insiders
(Walter Wong, Mohammed Nuru): Going back to his days as mayor of San Francisco, Newsom has been connected to local officials and developers involved in city-hall bribery and permit-rigging scandals, most notably former city public works director Mohammed Nuru and contractor Walter Wong. Both were convicted in massive federal corruption probes, raising questions about Newsom's longstanding relationship with these individuals.
Note: Neither Governor Gavin Newsom nor his wife have been officially charged with or convicted of a crime, but all are central figures in ongoing state and federal inquiries into Sacramento’s political establishment and California's administration.
