California Governor Gavin Newsom, during his speech at the Vatican on climate change, accused former President Donald Trump of 'open corruption.' Newsom's remarks come in response to reports that Trump recently hosted a premium donor confab with oil industry executives at Mar-a-Lago. During the meeting, Trump allegedly offered to rescind a wide range of Biden's environmental regulations in exchange for $1 billion in contributions to his reelection campaign. Newsom criticized Trump for this transactional pitch, emphasizing the ethical concerns surrounding such an arrangement.
