GAVIN NEWSOM ACCUSED OF TAKING BRIBES & LAUNDERING MONEY TO HIS WIFE’S NGO🚨
• Blue Shield donated $20 million in September 2020. Months later, Newsom awarded them a $15 million no-bid contract.
• Kaiser Foundation donated $10 million in December 2020. By 2022, Newsom signed off on another no-bid contract for Kaiser to manage Medi-Cal.
• A tribe donated $500,000 in April 2024 and another $500,000 in April 2025 — right before Newsom’s office pushed to block a rival casino project.
The casino donations are especially troubling: They were reportedly laundered directly into Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s California Partners Project charity, at Gavin’s request.
This pattern looks like pay-to-play. Californians deserve full transparency and real accountability. No one should be above the law. 🇺🇸
