California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he was saddened as an American to see the federal charges against former President Donald Trump and offered unusual praise for the ex-president for his handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, weighed in on the indictment accusing Mr. Trump of mishandling classified documents during a sit-down interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. Mr. Trump has said he is innocent of the allegations.The governor sat down for a rare one-on-one with the conservative network as he raises his national profile in spats with Republican governors, notably Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, over issues like immigration and gun control.
“I didn’t have a closed fist, I had an open hand. We actually had an incredible relationship during COVID,” Mr. Newsom said. “He was incredible — he played no politics during COVID with California — none whatsoever. It’s a fact.” “It was a dumb — it was a terrible mistake,” Mr. Newsom said. “It wasn’t illegal, it was wrong. And I totally violated the spirit of what I was preaching. And it was wrong. And I own that.”
