Gavin Newsom's Former Aide Dana Williamson Pleads Guilty In $225000 Campaign Fraud Case
Dana Williamson, former Chief of Staff to California Governor Gavin Newsom, has pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges in a shocking $225,000 campaign scandal. Prosecutors say Williamson and her associates secretly used dormant campaign funds tied to Xavier Becerra for luxury expenses, including a $150,000 Mexico birthday trip, designer shopping at Chanel and Fendi, and home upgrades. Investigators allege fake contracts, false tax returns, and lies to federal agents were all part of the scheme. Two other political insiders also pleaded guilty. Governor Newsom has not been accused of wrongdoing, but the scandal is rocking California politics.
