GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Points Finger at Dem He Would Investigate If Elected

Republican California gubernatorial candidate 👤Steve Hilton knows what one of his first order of business will be if elected.

Hilton said Monday his first executive order would create a “Taxpayer Fraud Strike Force” to target Democrat Gov. 👤Gavin Newsom and others in an investigation into alleged fraud, waste and abuse in California government.

Hilton talked with Fox News Digital interview with about California’s primary where voters will decide who advances to the November general election.

“This is my first executive order,” Hilton said, holding up a draft of the order. “This is Day 1 of the new administration. We’re going to clean house in California.”

“We will not spare anyone,” Hilton said. “👤Gavin Newsom will be top of our target list because for years Newsom was warned by the state auditor, by other state agencies, his own state agencies, that billions of dollars were being stolen, and he did nothing about it.”

“What we’re going to be investigating with this executive order, setting up a task force, a strike force to look at criminal prosecution, is whether there was criminal negligence on the part of 👤Gavin Newsom and other state officials,” Hilton continued. “And if there was, then they will be prosecuted.”
