Federal authorities on Wednesday charged political consultant Dana Williamson, the former chief of staff to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, in a sweeping public corruption case with 23 counts, including bank and wire fraud, according to a federal indictment .

A spokesperson for Newsom told Newsweek in an email on Wednesday: "Ms. Williamson no longer serves in this administration.
