GUILTY’ – Close Ally Of Gavin Newsom Just Went Down

Williamson received a liver transplant in late January. It remains unclear how her health condition will factor into sentencing.

The case has drawn national attention because of Williamson’s close ties to high-ranking California Democrats and the involvement of a former chief of staff to a Biden Cabinet secretary. Becerra, who has held elected office since 1990 and served as California Attorney General before becoming HHS secretary, has stated he had no knowledge of the scheme.

The plea comes amid broader Republican criticism of corruption and mismanagement in Democratic-led states, particularly California, which has faced multiple high-profile fraud cases involving pandemic relief funds and state programs.
