BREAKING: Gavin Newsom's former Chief of staff arrested and facing charges related to fraud, obstruction of justice and tax crimes.

Dana Williamson, a former chief of staff for Gov. Gavin Newsom, is among multiple people arrested and facing charges that include fraud, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements, officials said Wednesday. 

A news release from the U.S. Department of Justice states that between February 2022 and September 2024, Williamson conspired to funnel about $225,000 in funds from a dormant political campaign to another person's account for personal use.

Despite being warned about the optics and possible legal ramifications of using department resources to such a degree of personal use, prosecutors say Chief Johnson instructed Captain Chuck Fletcher to arrange to have a camera installed outside his home.

The National Police Association Endorses the Stop ANTIFA Act of 2025

In September, President Donald J.Trump issued an Executive Order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. It confirms that the group uses intimidation and initiates violence -via armed standoffs with law enforcement, assaults on officers, and organized riots to achieve its political goals. The President also rightfully directed federal agencies to investigate, dismantle, and prosecute any illicit activities perpetrated by its members and associates.

Our team just returned from an important trip through Asia to build on our key partnerships and work together on stopping threats before they reach American shores.

One of the most important stops we had on this trip was in China to address the fentanyl crisis – an issue killing so many Americans year after year, and one that President Donald Trump has given his team a mandate to defeat. This was the first time in a decade that an FBI Director has received an audience with his counterpart to discuss the fentanyl crisis directly.
 
I’ve said before: targeting the precursors is the key – this is the agent that turns fentanyl into a deadly chemical that destroys lives. Cut off the precursors and you crush the drug trafficking industry and starve critical deadly drug pipelines fueled by cartels in Mexico.
 
President Trump has been working around the clock with President Xi on this issue to reach an agreement. We went to Beijing seeking to get 13 precursors listed. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and direct engagement with President Xi, we reached an agreement to have all 13 listed - as well as 7 chemicals restricted. It’s a historic success.
 
This will be a huge asset for the FBI and our partners in saving American lives and defeating the fentanyl crisis. We’re cutting off the flow of fentanyl before it comes to us.
 
Thanks to the many partners who continue to work so hard to make this happen – AG Pam Bondi, DAG ToddBlanche, USAmbChina, and more. Thank you to POTUS for the continued leadership on such an important issue for American families all over the country.
