The left blasts Trump business deals but ignores Dem wiretap sleaze
The left has been criticized for not speaking out against corruption involving allies of Governor Gavin Newsom and his heir apparent, Xavier Becerra. A recent bombshell story revealed that Alexis Podesta, a longtime insider and Newsom appointee, had cooperated with the FBI by wearing a wire to record conversations for two years. The scandal has raised questions about the lack of outrage from the left, particularly given their strong criticism of President Donald Trump's business dealings.
- ▪Alexis Podesta, a Newsom appointee, wore a wire to record conversations for two years as part of an FBI probe into corruption involving Governor Newsom's allies.
- ▪Dana Williamson, former Newsom chief of staff, pleaded guilty to three counts of bank and wire fraud, and filing false tax returns.
- ▪Federal investigators have expanded their scrutiny to include matters concerning Newsom himself and separate probes of his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom's nonprofit finances and taxes.
