Report: Newsom’s Office Protected Electric Company After It Caused Deadly California Fires

An investigation by a Sacramento television station found California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom allegedly crafted policies to help the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) after it pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for causing a massive fire in 2018 that killed 84 people.

ABC10 reported, “In the months after the crime, Newsom not only signed new financial protections for PG&E into law, his office hired private lawyers in New York who wrote the legislative language.”
