SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KERO) — Law enforcement officials are investigating escalating threats of death and violence against Governor Gavin Newsom, his family and wineries, shops and other businesses he founded.
A voicemail and emails provided to the Sacramento Bee contained graphic abusive language about Newsom, violent sexual threats against his wife and a reference to his children.
The newspaper said one communication included a threat to burn down one of the wineries owned by the Plump-Jack group, the hospitality company Newsom founded in 1992.
The democratic governor is the subject of a recall effort pushed by many upset over his approach to the coronavirus outbreak.
