Becerra, Williamson, and the FBI: What Sacramento Doesn't Want You to Ask

Xavier Becerra is the frontrunner to be California's next governor. His longtime chief of staff just pleaded guilty to federal fraud. And Becerra still won't answer the one question that matters: did he know?

Phil and Camille break down the full Dana Williamson guilty plea, the $225,000 scheme run through Becerra's dormant campaign account, and what it means that federal prosecutors originally came to Williamson seeking information about Gavin Newsom. Plus: why "I wasn't charged" is very different from "I didn't know" and whether this investigation goes higher than anyone in Sacramento wants to admit.

California Underground covers the California stories the rest of the media ignores β€” following the audits, the filings, and the officials responsible for outcomes that aren't matching the promises.
