California Governor Gavin Newsom has denied allegations that he secretly funded a nearly $100,000 bronze bust of himself in San Francisco City Hall, calling them "categorically false." A spokesperson stated that the project was initiated by a nonprofit organization and funded by private donors, not taxpayers. Meanwhile, following a mistrial in the case of Orange County judge Jeffrey Ferguson, who is charged with murdering his wife, he gave an exclusive interview reflecting on the emotional impact of the legal proceedings. Finally, Julia Peters, representing Hackman and Arakawa's estate, requested a Santa Fe court to seal case records to protect the family's privacy amid concerns about potential media leaks of sensitive materials.
