Gavin Newsom Thought He Could Steal From Americans Until Today (Video)

In this 10 July 2026 published video, host Cash Jordan talks about how it sure seems Governor Newsom is hiding something from everyone. 

While California Governor Gavin Newsom is not facing individual theft charges, his administration is under intense public scrutiny due to an estimated $180 billion lost to state program fraud, a newly announced federal Medicaid funding cut, and a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into his former chief of staff.
 
Political opponents point to the political pushback regarding California’s oversight failures as evidence of systemic mismanagement. Conversely, Governor Newsom has fiercely pushed back, calling the current administration’s federal investigations a “weaponized,” politically motivated attack targeting potential 2028 presidential contenders.

A breakdown of the specific legal battles, federal funding cuts, and fraud audits driving this national conversation includes the following:

In May 2026, Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, pleaded guilty to multiple federal felony charges. Williamson admitted to conspiring to commit bank and wire fraud, signing a false tax return, and making false statements to the FBI regarding a scheme to steal $225,000 from a dormant political campaign account. While investigators reportedly used a secret wire to record Williamson, federal prosecutors have not implicated Newsom himself. Newsom’s office released a statement clarifying that her illegal conduct was entirely unrelated to him.

The Trump administration’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)—spearheaded by an anti-fraud task force—officially cut over $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements to California. Federal officials cited California’s failure to follow federal guidelines to halt rampant fraud within its Medi-Cal program, noting billions are actively being billed for non-existent recipients or ineligible services.

Independent investigations, such as reports from the City Journal, estimate that fraudsters and organized crime rings have drained at least $180 billion from California taxpayers on the governor’s watch. Billions were lost due to lax oversight during the pandemic within the Employment Development Department (EDD), alongside major leaks in the state’s in-home care and unmonitored homelessness initiatives.

The federal government has opened separate inquiries, including an investigation into the tax filings and corporate nonprofit funding associated with the governor’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Newsom has utilized his platform to launch Trump Criminals, a website tracking executive pardons given to convicted white-collar fraudsters. He recently deflected press questions about his own unreleased state tax returns by pivoting to criticize the “great grift” of multi-billion-dollar income disclosures from political rivals.
