Gavin is suspiciously directing donors and mega corps to funnel money into his connected "nonprofits."
Don't forget...his own agency, Cal Volunteers, has a nonprofit slush fund that was set to launder $500K from FireAid. The entire NPO complex in CA needs to be audited.
BREAKING: Gavin Newsom used YOUR TAX DOLLARS to defend himself in a personal criminal investigation.
I'm demanding an investigation. Taxpayer money is not Gavin Newsom's personal legal defense fund. https://t.co/tibw4oSK6n
🚨 Gavin Newsom GIFTED a $3.7M mansion, POCKETED $2.7M cash-out refi tax-free, and Democrats say he's just TOO SMART to cheat. Do the math.
Larry O'Connor EXPOSES Gavin Newsom's suspicious finances and TEARS into the pathetic defense Democrats are running for him.
"Gavin Newsom has a $3.7 million mansion. It was given to him as a gift. As a gift. And then, three months later, they did a cash-out refi for $2.7 million. And you don't have to pay taxes on that. So if somebody gives you a home, you then do a cash-out refi, you get that money, and you can do whatever you want with it, and you don't pay taxes on it. That's quite a scheme, ain't it?"
O'Connor then BLASTS Democrats for their laughable defense of Newsom.
"That's a hell of a defense. And it really works for literally every Democrat running for president. If they break the law, if they do anything that the rest of us would get investigated and arrested for, all they have to do is say, hey, come on. I'm a Democrat running for president. I'd never be this stupid and reckless."
O'Connor then points out that the whistleblower is almost certainly from the rival Kamala Harris faction within the Democrat party.
"The whistleblower, if there is one in Sacramento that alerted the DOJ, I think it's a safe bet that it's a Democrat. And there are two factions in Sacramento right now within the Democrat party. There's the Gavin Newsom faction. And then there's the Kamala Harris faction."
"Do the math and pop the popcorn because this is going to get good."

Gavin Newsom's high speed rail project is nearly $100 billion over budget and won't be completed until 2040.
He's permanently disqualified from criticizing the reflecting pool renovation or the White House ballroom ever again.
🚨 MIDNIGHT TAX INCREASES!
In the dead of night, California legislators passed massive new taxes on insurance, digital software, and employee payroll taxes.
Don’t let anyone fool you this isn’t the federal government’s fault. The math isn’t mathing.
California just passed a $355 billion record budget with record revenue. Yet my colleagues still blame the President.
For context: The state budget was around $170 billion just 10 years ago. Now it’s more than doubled and life in California doesn’t feel any easier.
Sacramento has an insatiable appetite for your hard-earned money. If you’re not paying attention, they will keep taking more.
🚨 NOW: There are SEVERAL INVESTIGATIONS from the DOJ surrounding Gavin Newsom, including his WIFE
No wonder Gavin is panicking publicly! 🤣
The house of cards is starting to crash down before his 2028 campaign!
Expose this SNAKE.
Hey Gavin Newsom: if this whole criminal investigation into you and your wife is nothing but a Trump hit job against you...why did your own Chief of Staff just plead GUILTY?
Kinda makes it pretty legit.
Gavin Newsom is doing the thing corrupt politicians always do when the spotlight finally turns back on them.
He's pretending the investigation is the scandal.
It's not.
The scandal is that this man has spent his entire public life inside the gap between power and accountability, and he STILL acts stunned when somebody decides to take a peek behind the curtain.
Gavin is a product of the California lobby machine, the one that trades names and makes sure their guys win.
His whole business career was bankrolled by the billionaire Getty family. But you'll never hear Gavin rage about Getty money. He saves that for Elon.
This is a man whose entire political career is a pattern: overreach, scandal, fines for "irregular" accounting. Over and over.
He had an affair with his own appointments secretary, who happened to be the wife of his campaign manager and best friend.
Btw; she got a $10,154 city payout. Supposedly no wrongdoing. Why are taxpayers paying for Gavin's adultery?
He believes he's above the law. That if it's for the "right reasons," the law is made to be broken. That's what every dictator tells himself.
2004, he issued marriage licenses against state law. Courts voided them.
French Laundry, November 2020. He's got the whole state locked in their homes. He went after Elon for keeping Tesla open, told him to comply or get out of California, played hard-ass enforcer on national TV.
Then he drove up to Napa and threw a $400 plate dinner for lobbyists. Like cmon dude, at least pretend to believe the stuff you say on TV.
(oh and btw, multiple businesses he owns got PPP relief during covid. just saying.)
Beyond that, I don't get how anyone thinks this man is a great governor, let alone honest.
Under his nose, $20B in unemployment fraud, $800M of it mailed to people in prison cells. Has spent $24B on homelessness yet no auditor or taxpayer can tell what happened with the money or if anything changed.
The high speed rail is a running joke, $33B to $100B. No one's buying innocent OR competent.
And then there's his wife.
Her nonprofit paid her $1.8M over the years and routed another $2.1M to her OWN production company.
Then the $20M state diaper program, run through a different nonprofit she co-founded, whose co-CEO sits on her board.
Why is his wife the only person suitable for all these deals? That's family dealing, plain and simple, and it's the exact thread federal investigators are pulling on right now. Her finances. Her taxes. Her nonprofits.
So let's add it up, Gavin.
Your best friend resigned over your affair. Your chief of staff just pleaded guilty to federal fraud. You've got two ethics fines in two years and the state's own enforcer calling it a "pattern of repeated violations." Your wife is pulling millions out of nonprofits and landing state contracts. $20B in fraud walked out the door. $24B on homelessness that vanished. A bullet train that's a national punchline.
And your pitch is that the only reason anyone's asking questions is that Trump doesn't like you? And to be clear, some of these investigations started under the Biden Administration.
Come on, dude.
This is the disease with these people. Decades inside the machine, public money in, private benefit out, no consequences, and the second anyone investigates they wrap themselves in democracy and scream persecution.
But Gavin Newsom thinks scrutiny happens BENEATH him.
Holy crap. The Newsom’s were caught heavily in a money laundering operation.
In an insane twist, it was Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer that has been running this operation all this time.
No one is above the law right?
