Dana Williamson, a former top aide to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, was indicted on federal charges Nov. 12 alleging her involvement in a scheme to steal campaign money from former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra.

The indictment lists four other co-conspirators. It alleges Williamson developed a plan with Sean McCluskie, a longtime Becerra aide, to siphon money from Becerra's dormant state campaign accounts to pad McCluskie's salary after he left public office.
