Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Joe Rogan says Gavin Newsom vetoed an audit of California homelessness spending.
The finding
What the evidence shows
A state audit was published in April 2024. Newsom later vetoed AB 2903, which required standardized annual cost-and-outcome reporting. His veto cited overlapping reporting duties. That veto was real, but it did not cancel the completed audit or establish a motive to hide payments.
