flag California aide Dana Williamson indicted on corruption charges tied to influence-peddling and lying to FBI.

flag Dana Williamson, a top California political aide with ties to three governors, was indicted on federal corruption charges, including using her influence to sway a discrimination case against Activision Blizzard and lying to FBI agents. flag Two men charged alongside her—Sean McCluskie and Greg Campbell—have pleaded guilty, while Williamson denies wrongdoing. flag The case has spotlighted ethical concerns in state politics, particularly regarding the overlap between government service, lobbying, and political influence, and has drawn scrutiny of officials including Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Xavier Becerra. flag The scandal, one of the most significant in California in decades, may deepen as the case proceeds.
