Californias deepening fraud scandal is casting a harsh light on Governor Gavin Newsoms leadership and the broader failures of progressive governance in the nations largest blue state.
According to Sean Hannity, a newly confirmed Deputy Attorney General will now head the Department of Justices anti-fraud division, a move that follows independent journalist Nick Shirleys explosive reporting on massive waste and fraud in both Minnesota and California. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has announced that his panel is formally joining the probe, signaling that Washington is no longer willing to ignore what appears to be systemic abuse of taxpayer dollars.
You can multiply what we found in Minnesota probably by 10 in California thats how bad it is, Comer told Sean Hannity during Tuesday nights Hannity. What were hoping in this investigation is we have whistleblowers come forward just like we did in MinnesotaWhat we know in Californiain hospice fraud alone, 3.5 billion dollars, just in Los Angeles County.
Comer underscored the staggering scale of the alleged scheme, noting that The whole hospice budget for the United States last year, 18% of the billing was in Los Angeles County. And thats not 18% of the population of the United States of America, Comer added. It is rampant in California, and Gavin Newsom knew it and hasnt done a thing about it.
For conservatives who have long warned that Californias one-party rule breeds corruption and unaccountability, these revelations reinforce concerns about unchecked spending and lax oversight under Newsoms watch. Comer has made clear he wants the Democratic governor under oath, bluntly warning, Gavin Newsom better lawyer up.
