It was a dormant account. Becerra was not implicated.
Stephen Kaufman, Becerra's longtime lawyer was tasked with overseeing his dormant campaign account. Guess what? He didn't catch it!
Becerra was a Biden cabinet member and was barred from involving himself in campaign matters when this was going down.
"Becerra has not been accused of wrongdoing, and prosecutors’ court filings describe him as a victim. He told The Times that he cooperated with investigators, including appearing before the grand jury."
Shame on Porter and Steyer.
"Former Orange County Rep. Katie Porter, one of the Democrats who has watched Becerra’s rapid ascent in the race, said in a CNN interview Monday that California can’t risk having Becerra in the race with the specter of the ongoing criminal case.
She acknowledged that “I do not have the facts” about the case, but said if Becerra were to finish in the top two in the June 2 primary and then be indicted by the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, a Republican ultimately could win the governor’s race in November.
“Secretary Becerra cannot and has not guaranteed or promised the people of California that he will not be named as a co-conspirator and indicted,” she said."
