Highlights
  • Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four co-conspirators were indicted on 23 counts of bank and wire fraud from 2022 to 2024, during her time in the governor's office.
  • Prosecutors say Williamson and an associate used political strategy firms to funnel about $225,000 from a dormant campaign account into an associate's control, disguising payments as spouse expenses.
  • Williamson allegedly claimed more than $1.7 million in business expenses, buying items like a $15,000 Chanel handbag and a nearly $170,000 birthday trip to Mexico.
