Newsom Calls Trump a Liar After Unauthorized National Guard Deployment to LA

Los Angeles Tensions Rise as Newsom Accuses Trump of Unauthorized National Guard Deployment Los Angeles, CA – Tensions escalated between California Governor Gavin Newsom and former President Donald Trump following Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles without Newsom's knowledge or consent. The deployment, which occurred Sunday night amidst ongoing protests, has sparked a major political controversy. Newsom, in a recent interview, directly accused Trump of being a "stone-cold liar." He stated that during a phone call with Trump on Friday, the former president never mentioned sending in the National Guard, despite subsequent posts on Truth Social criticizing Newsom's handling of the situation and referring to him as "incompetent." "He never mentioned it one time," Newsom said, expressing his outrage at Trump's actions. Newsom has vowed to take legal action against the Trump administration as early as next Monday, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. Trump's deployment of the National Guard without the governor's consent is unprecedented in nearly 60 years. The move has raised concerns about the separation of powers and the potential for federal overreach into state affairs. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing protests and the legal battle between Newsom and Trump promising further developments.
