FBI investigation involves wire worn by Gavin Newsom longtime ally

What was said

"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. Political strategist Scotty Nell Hughes noted this differs from other political investigations because it originates from within Newsom's own circle, though the full scope of the probe remains unclear. Newsom has called the investigation political retaliation, but federal investigators say it stems from a broader public corruption case.
