Newsom Targets Election Interference
On Monday, Newsom said in a post on X while sharing a video clip in which he addressed people who might assist President Donald Trump in challenging or disrupting California’s election process.
"To anyone considering helping President Trump interfere with our election or our count: You will be prosecuted," Newsom wrote.
In the video, Newsom said California would pursue legal action against anyone who violates state election laws, regardless of who they claim authorized the actions.
