Governor Gavin Newsom is reportedly refusing to release text messages and emails to and from Los Angeles city and county officials regarding the recent wildfires, claiming that they are “exempt” from publication.
As Breitbart News noted earlier this week, Los Angeles Karen Bass has deleted her text messages about the Palisades fire. Bass told local Fox affiliate KTTV-11 in a news conference: “My phone did automatic delete after thirty days.”
The outlet also asked Newsom for his text messages with the mayor and with Los Angeles county, and was denied.
