The FBI used a Democrat insider as an informant to infiltrate Governor Gavin Newsom’s inner circle before the corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife Jennifer Newsom.
Recall that Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, was indicted on federal wire fraud charges last year.
Last month, Newsom fumed as he announced the corruption probe had expanded, and he and his wife are now under investigation.
Newsom said federal agents have contacted people and organizations close to him and his wife, Jennifer Newsom.
People close to the Newsoms have been subpoenaed for records, according to the governor.
According to Semafor, there are several investigations related to Newsom and they are focused on Jennifer Newsom’s taxes (+ his chief of staff).
Contrary to Newsom’s claims, the investigations did not originate from main DOJ in DC, but are out of Sacramento and involve whistleblowers, Semafor reported.
