"This is Gavin Newsome's ally. This is a friend. This wasn't something that can necessarily be pinned on the other side as a political targeting. This was happening from within his own circle there in California."
A stunning report reveals that one of California Governor Gavin Newsom's longtime allies allegedly wore a wire for months while cooperating with an FBI investigation.

Newsom has called the investigation political retaliation, but federal investigators say it stems from a broader public corruption case.
