Gavin Newsom vows 100% tax on California recipients of Trump’s $1.8-billion ‘slush fund’

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Wednesday that aims to shield California elections from federal interference, saying he expected President Donald Trump's administration to try to meddle in the midterms this year. The law, which took effect immediately and came days before next Tuesday's primary, prohibits any person - including federal agents - from accessing voter rolls or election technology without a court order. Law enforcement officers are restricted from disrupting election workers, except in public safety emergencies. In a news conference Wednesday in which the California governor slammed President Trump and signed an emergency bill to block election interference, Newsom also announced plans to levy a maximum tax on anyone in the state who receives money via Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund.
