I give you Governor Newsom, recipient of eight-times-larger-than-originally-reported Paycheck Protection Program funds of about $3 million.
Nearly $3M meant for small businesses amid pandemic went to companies Gov. Gavin Newsom founded, data shows - ABC7 San Francisco (abc7news.com)
So it seems Newsom isn't the one to be scrutinized here. It is whoever is running the businesses he has a stake in. Moreover, I don't think the current administration would have allowed that money to go to those companies in question if it knew Newsom had stakes in them. Its pettiness is unmatched in my lifetime, so I believe the limb I am walking out on here is pretty sturdy.

Quote:In 2018, Gov. Newsom placed his ownership interests in the PlumpJack Group into a blind trust. This means he would have no knowledge or role in the company's business decisions made during his time in office.
