Trump’s Iran Deal, Oil Drops Hard, New Epstein Report | PBD #818

What was said

"Jennifer Newsom's nonprofit, the Representation Project, reports an IRS filing showed that she allegedly paid herself $1.8 million in salary while another $2.1 million probably went to her production company through nonprofit funding tied to donors connected to Gavin Newsom's political world. That's almost $4 million flowing back into her own ecosystem."

Federal investigators are examining whether California First Lady Jennifer Newsom improperly funneled nearly $4 million through her nonprofit to herself and her production company between 2012 and 2025. The Department of Justice probe also involves Newsom's former chief of staff Dana Williamson, who pled guilty to bank fraud and faces 30 years in prison. Gavin Newsom released a video claiming political persecution by Trump, though the investigation began under Biden.
