Gov. Gavin Newsom had helped set up a state government agency for his wife and then a quasi-government non-profit to which he has directed millions of dollars which in turn helped promote yet another non-profit that puts millions of dollars in the pockets of the Newsoms.
That convoluted arrangement may explain why Newsom won’t turn over his tax returns.
Gov. Newsom promised to be the first California governor to release his tax returns every year, but media outlets have been grumbling that the last time he released a tax return was quite a few years ago when he was legally required to because he was running for reelection.
The questions got louder when he bought a $9 million house in addition to their $6 million house. The new 5,609 square foot estate comes with a spa, sculptures and Brazilian decks, and was bought from a member of the billionaire Pritzker clan, who have been one of Newsom’s major donors, and carries a $6.5 million mortgage with $600,000 in annual payments plus over $100,000 in property taxes. Some have been asking where all that money was coming from.
This may only be the tip of the iceberg considering that in 2019, the Newsoms had paid their household staff $288,000 alone. Assuming that the staffing costs have kept pace, California’s first family should be looking at very some very huge bills to maintain their outrageous lifestyle.
As of last fall, Newsom still hasn’t released a tax return. We do know that Newsom’s income shot up by $500,000 to $1.7 million in his first year in office. Back then, his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, was earning $151,000, through her ‘non-profit’, The Representation Project, which set out to teach children, especially boys, about the evils of gender roles and masculinity.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, whose boutique causes include gender pay parity, however has been earning a higher salary than her husband as her non-profit took in $1.5 million in 2024 and 20% of that money went to her with $150,000 going directly to her as salary and another $150,000 going to her Girls Club Entertainment LLC for compensation as “Writer/Producer/Director”.
Girls Club Entertainment is listed as an “independent contractor” even though it also admits on the same tax filing that “Girls Club Entertainment LLC (GCE), a single member LLC, is owned by Jennifer Siebel Newsom” and also claims that she serves as the writer, producer and director of the various ‘documentaries’ that she licenses to her non-profit which then reimburses her.
Since the non-profit, originally titled ‘Miss Representation’ after the name of one of her ‘documentaries’, was set up to promote them, the arrangement appears to exist to allow her to benefit from non-profit funding while diverting a significant amount of the funds to herself.
An arrangement under which Newsom’s wife is simultaneously the CEO, board member and an ‘independent contractor’, who manages to cash out a significant percentage of its revenues, is legally dubious and risks falling under the IRS prohibitions against self-enrichment.
After taking office, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that he was creating an ‘Office of the First Partner’ for his wife led by two senior staffers with combined salaries of over a quarter of a million dollars. The most recent organizational chart for the office shows 7 staffers including two communications staffers just for Newsom’s wife: all with six figure salaries.
And he wants to be President? Money grubbing idiots!

Is Gov. Newsom pressuring and rewarding companies for donating to his wife’s non-profit and does that non-profit then help promote his wife’s other extremely profitable ‘non-profit’?
There is a lot more in this long article, all about double dealing by Newsome and his "wife".
Partner in crime, no doubt.
He’s a white version of Tiffany Henyard. He operates exactly like she does.
Spousal privilege in legal matters should not apply to politicians those elected to public office. They are co-conspirators. The examples are plenty.
Hypocritical dems bitched and moaned about Trump not releasing his tax returns, but they will always ignore a slimeball like Newsom keeping his own crooked dealings secret.
I want to know where the money went from that RIDICULOUS BILLION DOLLAR deal he (and his buddies?) did with the Chinese back in 2020 for surgical masks. Does anyone know? I’ve never seen any investigative reporting on that.
Well, now you know how he was able to afford the $9m home he recently bought so his kids could attend an exclusive, very expensive private school in the area.
He also enjoys dinners out at places like the French Laundry where the average meal is $200.
Media darling b/c Dem so the fawn all over him: re: Katie Couric who slobbered all over the governor asking if being “ridiculously good-looking” posed a political problem. Referencing a Vogue profile that called Newsom “embarrassingly handsome.”

Everyone knows you launder your graft through the spouse.
If people can OPENLY do things like this then the system isn’t dying, it’s dead.

“He’s a white version of Tiffany Henyard.”
She’s moved to Atlanta and is running for office. Why isn’t she in prison?
Double standard, with a gender and politicians enhancer protection tradition. I think the last individual from Illinois that went to prison was Rod Blagojevich and Dan Rostenkowski, before him.
The number of “charity” “non-profit” orgs has doubled since the Clintons left office. Word got out among democrats that the path to riches lay in the intersection of public office and the “non-profit” world. Democrat-passed laws since then all have an element that further juices “non-profit” creation, such as Obamacare which subsidized all kinds of “non-profits” to treat the “mental health” crisis which the law fomented. Every law the dems pass has a section that creates new funding streams for new “non-profits” to exploit. This is the democrat version of “entrepreneurship” and is nothing more than wholesale criminal looting of the nation.
Democrats use the same manual only the dates change.
Huey Long faced numerous charges, primarily related to misuse of state funds, bribery, offenses like bribing lawmakers, threatening press freedom, immoral conduct, and misusing state employees; however, he survived the Senate trial and continued his political career, never being convicted on these charges.
