“A political consultant and former chief of staff for California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been indicted on accusations of skimming campaign funds from former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Federal prosecutors said Dana Williamson, 53, of Carmichael, Calif., was arrested Wednesday morning. A 23-count federal indictment was then unsealed, charging her with a slew of conspiracy, fraud and other charges. … Federal prosecutors allege that Williamson and the co-conspirators diverted about $225,000 in funds from the dormant political campaign. The indictment also accuses her of filing false tax returns for more than $1 million in business deductions for private jet travel, luxury hotel stays, home furnishings and designer handbags.” (11/13/25)
