Congressman Ro Khanna raged at billions in alleged fraud in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California when he called for a full audit of state spending seemingly aimed at the governor’s leadership.
The Silicon Valley Democrat boosted claims on X of billions in fraud in California and vowed to hold congressional hearings on waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars in the state — sparking a spat with Newsom’s sassy spokesperson Izzy Gardon, who defended California’s exorbitant High-Speed Rail project that’s widely considered a boondoggle.
Khanna is apparently mulling a presidential run, like Newsom, who said he is “considering” a run in 2028.
“Today, I am announcing that in 2026 I will be working on a bipartisan basis on Oversight to request hearings on state governments’ high risk programs, including California, that have led to illegal payments and eligibility errors,” Khanna wrote on X Tuesday.
“I also will work on legislation to call for a full independent audit of California’s budget.”
Khanna called for oversight following social media allegations of $72 billion worth of fraud in California, an estimate that appears roughly extrapolated from state auditor reports pointing to risks in programs like the Employment Development Department, along with cost overruns in the infamous High-Speed Rail project, intended to eventually connect San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The time spent with congressional hearings will be inversely proportional to the actions taken to stop the fraud.
Ro Khanna gets in front of the parade…
Ro Khanna needs his ass slammed.
…Although a clear sign the fraud is real and someone(s) will go down for it: a Demonrat Congresscritter is accusing his Demonrat Governor of turning a blind eye to malfeasance.
Isn’t he one who cheered for Tesla dealerships being fire bombed when Elon Musk was trying to investigate the same thing as part of DOGE?
Just the other day I wondered who the Obama horse was going to be for the 28 presidential candidate. Now we know.
It will be between Pelosi’s Gavin, and Obama’s Ro.
Rho is a fraud.
I met him around 2008 when he was campaigning as a Republican.
A hard right Republican...
Prolly. Just opining it’s a red-letter day when Demonrats turn on each other.
The high speed rail to nowhere is a hard swallow for anybody who is not getting paid to support it.
Nah...Ro Khanna is UGLY...Ugly doesn’t win the Presidency.
Attempt to deflect interest in any possible fraud on his part?
The biggest fraud is the $24 billion spent on the homeless bums.
Just the opposite. He actually was one of few who called for a unified condemnation of such acts. link
He also condemned Newsome's ev incentive plan that excluded Tesla. link
Not a fan of the guy, but I do give him a break on this one.
This will sink the chances of Dems getting control of HOR.
Will Ro be soccessful in distancing himself from the wrong doing?
Looks like someone else is trying out for 2028..if Ro Khanna really cared about going after NewSCUM, he would investigate the Palisades fire..EVERYONE knows that NewSCUM ordered it done, not actually going to the scene and setting it on fire, NO, but he wanted it to happen and made sure that it would eventually happen so that he could “reimagine” the area full of low income housing. Also what happened to the FireAid money that was SUPPOSED to go to fire victims, they never got ONE penny but I know who did, NewSCUM and Dem NGOs
Khanna is mad because he didn’t get enough of it.
