Dana Williamson, a former chief of staff to Governor Gavin Newsom, was arrested and charged with corruption Wednesday. The charges stem from allegations of improper financial transactions and influence peddling. The California Attorney General’s office announced the arrest following a review of Williamson’s activities and communications. Prosecutors allege Williamson misused confidential information gained during her time as a staffer to benefit a private company. The charges include fraud and abuse of a position of trust. Williamson is scheduled to appear in court next week.
