TOO LATE: Fraud Boss Gavin Newsom Flips From Denial to “Leader” After $267M Medi-Cal Scandal, Claims Credit

King of the grift strikes again.

The empire of fraud kingpin Gavin Newsom  is suddenly taking credit for “leading the charge” against fraud after being implicated in dozens of schemes and attacking the young journalist, Nick Shirley, who broke the fraud story wide open.

Nick Shirley to Newsom: “You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me.

Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious?

You are the fraud.”

Wait a minute! Gavin Newsom said none of this was happening, mocked Nick Shirley for traveling to California to investigate and expose it, and called CMS administrator Dr. Oz “racist” against Armenians for even suggesting there was hospice fraud in Los Angeles. https://t.co/j2VeaWnB4H

Gavin Newsom took $126,000,000,000.00 for a train project.

There is no train.

He robbed the American taxpayers.

Feeling the heat from Trump administration officials like Dr. Oz of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and independent journalists like Nick Shirley, the California Governor and his team are feigning they’re leaders in fighting fraud. From Newsom: California is again leading the charge against large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud. Today, we’re taking decisive action against 14 providers who tried using stolen identities to bill Medi-Cal for nonexistent hospice services (Newsom).

From California’s Health and Human Services department: Continuing the state’s crackdown on hospice fraud, California is taking decisive action to dismantle a large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud scheme targeting the Medi-Cal program in Los Angeles (CAHHS).

And California Attorney General Rob Bonta is suddenly fighting fraud as well: California Attorney Rob Bonta appears to finally be honing in on fraud after federal pressure — digging up more than a quarter of a billion dollars in faulty services billed to Medi-Cal and Medicaid. The top state prosecutor says investigators caught 14 fraudulent hospice companies who had billed Medi-Cal and Medicaid for $267 million in non-existent services after they received a tip from the California Department of Healthcare Services (New York Post).

Colin Rugg: California Governor Gavin Newsom takes credit for “leading the charge” against fraud after spending weeks attacking @nickshirleyy for exposing fraud (Rugg).

🚨ALERT: In January, California Gov. Gavin Newsom mocked Dr. Oz’s investigation into hospice fraud in the state, dismissing it as nothing more than a political stunt.

Since then, Dr. Oz has overseen the shutdown of 221 suspected fraudulent hospice providers in Los Angeles alone. pic.twitter.com/GDwn5UvI3B
