Gavin Newsom

Based on these search results, there are no publicly reported criminal charges, indictments, convictions, acquittals, or resignations involving Gavin Newsom himself. Multiple reports say the DOJ is investigating people tied to him, but a CNN source said Newsom personally is not being investigated. The concrete federal case is against his former chief of staff, Dana Williamson: indicted in November 2025 on 23 counts including bank and wire fraud, false tax returns, and false statements; she pleaded guilty to three of 23 charges last month. At the state level, the California FPPC fined Newsom at least $10,500 in November 2024 for late behested-payment reporting of about $14.4 million, and later he agreed to a $31,500 penalty covering late reports for 36 behested-payment filings totaling over $5.5 million (covering 2024–2025), including payments tied to 2025 LA wildfires.
