California Legislator Accuses Newsom of Violating State Code
DeMaio says Newsom should reimburse taxpayers and hire private counsel as California regulators weigh a separate $31,500 fine.
- On Tuesday, Assemblymember Carl DeMaio requested an investigation into Governor Gavin Newsom for using taxpayer-funded resources to file a Freedom of Information Act request regarding a Department of Justice investigation.
- This request follows reports of a year-long Department of Justice investigation into people close to Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, which critics describe as a "fishing expedition" by the Donald Trump administration.
- DeMaio argues using public funds for personal legal matters is illegal, stating, "It is illegal for Gavin Newsom to use taxpayer-funded staff and resources to defend a criminal probe into his personal matters."
- Separately on Thursday, the California Fair Political Practices Commission voted 3-0 to fine Newsom $31,500 for failing to timely file 31 behested payment reports involving more than $5.5 million.
- DeMaio continues calling for taxpayers to be reimbursed for any funds used for personal matters, while the Governor has not yet responded to inquiries regarding the use of these resources.
