The FBI had a mole inside Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political orbit before the agency’s corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife, The Post has learned.
Democrat insider Alexis Podesta, 45, secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom’s then-chief of staff, Dana Williamson, 53, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges in May, according to Williamson’s attorney.
The revelation she was wearing a wire as far back as June 2024 explains why a swath of Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them that their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation — despite many having little or no connection to Williamson.
“Alexis wore a wire, and Dana did not,” said McGregor Scott, Williamson’s lawyer and a former US attorney for the Eastern District of California, which is now investigating the Newsoms.
The disclosure comes as Newsom announced last month that he and his wife — whose nonprofit has been burning through money in recent years — as well as members of the governor’s inner circle are under federal investigation.
Within hours of that announcement, Newsom blasted out an email to raise money for political action committee.
Assemblymember Josh Hoover (R-Folsom) told The Post he was among those who received one of the letters even though he had never spoken with either Williamson or Podesta.

Grabbin Noisome is certainly one corrupt POS.
Since June 2024…..that was during Obama’s third term.
will he go down for this?
I’d like to hear that toilet flushing.
my thought too, pre-Trump.
I don’t think Newscum needs to be tricked into going down. Especially on a guy.
Podesta...this spells “Clinton”
that was during Obama’s third term.“
That is pretty interesting isn’t it. My first thought is they wanted leverage for the future but Trump won.
They probably felt that they needed to control Gavin.
right you are.
Now that you mention it, he does seem a little “Nelly”.
That’s what l was my thought too and you can bet it is SOP. For instance I can only imagine what they have on Roberts.

He’ll be the next in a long line of corrupt politicians who end up in jai...nevermind.
I see what you did there and admire it.

Do Hairdo next.
June 2024......BIDEN WAS POTUS AT THAT DATE.................
It was an Obama setup.
He wanted to clear the field for his chosen candidate whoever that may have been, and getting the goods on Newsome to make him stand down from running or drop out has Obama’s fingerprints all over it............
Democrats eat each other? Come on. Come to think of it the late Linda Tripp just mighta saved Monica’s life when she told Lewinsky to keep the blue dress.
