19:31Now PlayingCalifornia's governor race is facing new controversy as Steve Hilton calls for renewed FBI scrutiny of Xavier Becerra in connection with a federal corruption case involving former political staffers. The development comes after guilty pleas connected to a scheme involving money from Becerra's former campaign account.
In this video, we break down Hilton's new announcement and his letter to federal officials requesting additional scrutiny of Becerra. We also examine the allegations Hilton is raising, what the underlying federal case says, and why communications involving “Public Official Number One” have become part of the political debate.
We also look directly at portions of the case discussed in the video, including text messages and references to meetings involving “Public Official Number One,” as well as the questions Hilton says he wants federal investigators to examine. As of the recording of this video, the transcript notes that Becerra had not yet responded to Hilton's new accusations.
Finally, we examine the broader California political and election disputes involving federal officials, voter rolls, election security and ongoing disagreements between California officials and the Trump administration.
