California Governor Gavin Newsom launched a state website titled "tracking Trump’s top 10 criminal cronies" as part of his ongoing public criticism of President Donald Trump. Newsom stated that Trump "surrounds himself with scammers and drug traffickers." The site prominently features crypto-related figures whom Trump pardoned, specifically mentioning former Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, and the co-founders of BitMEX. Each highlighted individual, including Trump himself, is shown with a "FELON" stamp. Newsom, widely considered a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, continues to mock the president while also using the site to argue that California's crime levels have declined.
