Failed California Bank Was Major Donor, Supporter To Newsom Family Nonprofit

[Daily Caller] Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the California firm that collapsed late last week after a bank run, donated $100,000 to a nonprofit founded by the Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, auditors at Open the Books, a nonprofit dedicated to transparency in government spending, discovered.

In 2021, SVB contributed $100,000 in a "behested" corporate gift to California Partners Project (CPP), meaning it was given "at the request, suggestion, or solicitation of, or made in cooperation, consultation, coordination or concert with the public official" — in this case, with Newsom himself, filings show. The $100,000 payment was paid in four installments of $25,000, with three of them being described as a "General grant to support gender equity in corporate governance," referring to CPP’s stated mission of promoting "gender equity across the state."

#9 ^ done and done folks. Newsome lobbied the Fed to cover the depositors without notification that he was one of those depositors. Not just his non profit, but all those wineries of which SVB was THE main lender to the entire industry.

#10 There are 5000 banks in the US. The 2 or 3 that failed are tied to the most corrupt Democrats. And Deep State (Federal Regulators) were covering for them.
