President-elect Donald Trump says California Governor Gavin Newsom has a role in the destructive wildfires burning in the Los Angeles area. Posting to his Truth Social account, Trump accused Newsom of choosing an endangered fish over protecting badly needed water resources.
Trump claims Newsom refused to sign a bill that would have allowed water from Northern California to flow into the area devastated by major wildfires today. Trump said that when he takes office, he’ll demand Newsom allows water to flow in California.
