California Gov. Newsom fined over delays in reporting charitable donations [Video]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has agreed to pay a fine for failing to report on time charitable donations that companies made on his behalf. The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that the Democratic governor agreed to pay $13,000 in a settlement with the Fair Political Practices Commission. State law requires elected officials to report donations made on their behalf within 30 days. The Commission said Newsom and his 2018 campaign committee didn’t make donation reports on time on 18 occasions. Newsom’s campaign said some filings were late because it had to depend on third parties to track filing information.
