Newsom Flies to D.C. Seeking Wildfire Relief After CA Passes His ‘Trump-Proofing’ Bills

(The Center Square) - California Gov. Gavin Newsom is visiting President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. to seek wildfire relief funding just after the state legislature passed bills to fund lawsuits against the Trump administration and deportation defense of illegal immigrants in a Newsom-called “Trump-proofing” special session. Trump has said he supports placing conditions on California wildfire aid, including the adoption of voter identification laws and better water management, and announced that he is seeking a federal investigation into the state’s high speed rail program.
