Newsom Blocked at Davos? California Governor Makes Brief Allegations

Newsom Blocked at Davos? California Governor Makes Brief Allegations

The political battle between Sacramento and Washington just went global. Newsom’s office alleges that the Trump Administration and the State Department applied direct pressure to have the Governor barred from the "USA House" pavilion. Despite being invited weeks ago, Newsom was turned away at the door by security, with officials citing a "venue-level decision."

This comes just hours after Newsom mocked President Trump’s Davos address as "remarkably boring" and "insignificant."
