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.
