Newsom criticized for selective tax return release

California Governor Gavin Newsom released tax returns to select media outlets, barring copies and requiring pen-and-paper notes.

Newsom faces an FBI corruption investigation alongside his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

The release follows former aide Ruby Rippey's public disclosure of an affair with Newsom.

Critics including Rep. Kevin Kiley and Rep. James Gallagher called the release a lack of transparency.

The New York Times and Politico were among outlets that participated in the private viewing.
