Gov. Newsom's staff changes story on funding for 'personal' Mexico whale-watching trip, report says
Briefly

Governor Gavin Newsom's recent whale-watching excursion in Mexico, initially labeled a personal trip, was later revealed to have been funded by a nonprofit.
The Governor's staff admitted to a clerical error on Form 700, mistakenly listing the funding nonprofit as 'One Earth' instead of 'Re-Earth', leading to confusion.
Izzy Gardon stated that the trip was for educational purposes, involving members focused on marine ecosystem challenges, funded by a nonprofit to avoid taxpayer burden.
The Governor's office claims all activities were fully disclosed on the updated Form 700 and adhered to legal and ethical reporting standards.
