California Governor Gavin Newsom has been accused of presiding over hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud in the state he leads, overseen by LA’s top federal prosector, Bill Essayli, who called him the “fraud king” for over a decade, and claims that fraud grew pervasive and entrenched in California on his watch. This comes after federal fraud raids in Southern California and follows reports of fake end-of-life care facilities in California. Despite these efforts, Newsom's response has been criticized as being "utter bullsh**" and "laughable" by a Newsom spokesperson, who insists that California is doing its part in fighting fraud and asks the federal government to work together against it. However, this statement falls far short of addressing the scandal in a serious and comprehensive way.
