Newsom Admits State Paid for His Security Detail's Travel to Montana, Laughably Claims 'Public Safety' Exception to Law
Redstate ^ | 07/08/2022 | Jennifer Van Laar

When CalMatters’ Emily Hoeven broke the story Tuesday night that California Governor Gavin Newsom was, in fact, where we all thought he was for 4th of July — at his in-laws’ ranch in the Bitterroot Valley in Montana — one of Newsom’s comms staffers went after her for pointing out that the state was now on California’s “no travel” list, meaning that the state could not pay for travel to Montana due to its supposedly anti-LGBTQ laws. Hoeven also pointed out that Newsom recently named Montana as one of the states he believed was likely to institute an abortion ban in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Newsom’s staffer, Anthony York, told Hoeven that California doesn’t legislate where people vacation and the travel ban only applies to spending state funds. He told her that the state is not paying for Newsom’s travel, but when she followed up by asking if the state is paying for Newsom’s security, York replied that the office doesn’t comment on security.

Of course.

Then when Hoeven tweeted out his remarks, York accused her of attempting to engage in “gotcha” journalism and failing. Yes, it seems he treats journalists who ask actual questions the same way his boss does, but at least he hasn’t yet come out and scolded her as part of an ungrateful “homegrown” team.

His tune changed Thursday, though, when he was forced to admit that the state was indeed paying for Newsom’s security detail in Montana.

There is no "Public Safety" exemption to that California law. Newsom traveled willingly to a state that he signed a ban against and then spent public money for his security detail in violation of that ban.

He broke the law and needs to be charged. The officer/s on the security detail need to be charged for the same crime.

Technically he did not violate the ‘law’, instead he violated his own travel ban on state employees. He could be subject to a fine (as if), but not subject to criminal charges. He could also be required to reimburse the state for all expenses related to state employees who traveled with him.
