Magram, who is Jewish, filed a lawsuit against Newsom and other state authorities\u2064 in a\u2062 Los Angeles court \u2063on January 24th.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u2064 the lawsuit, Magram \u2063alleges that Major General Matthew Beevers, who is currently the adjutant \u200bgeneral of the California Military Department, engaged in multiple \u2063anti-Semitic acts over a two-year period, creating a hostile\u200c work environment. \u2062Magram further claims that Newsom ignored his complaints regarding\u2063 Beevers&#8217; behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The initial news that led to Magram&#8217;s firing involved \u2064allegations that he used troops to run personal errands, such\u200c as taking his mother shopping, and prepared a\u200b fighter jet for a &#8220;possible domestic mission&#8221; during the early \u200dstages \u200bof the \u2064COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This raised \u2064concerns among\u2064 officials that the order could lead to a plane &#8220;buzzing&#8221; civilian protesters to disperse crowds.<\/p>\n<p>While Magram&#8217;s firing was confirmed by an internal disciplinary board, he argues that it was because he \u200bexposed Beevers&#8217; alleged actions, which included derogatory\u2062 comments about another general and a fellow Jewish service\u200c member. Magram claims that at least one\u200c other senior officer witnessed these instances of anti-Semitism and reported them \u200bto Newsom&#8217;s office on six separate occasions.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200blawsuit also states that Beevers attempted to take away Magram&#8217;s disability claims, resulting in a loss of benefits, after he refused to resign. Beevers obtained\u2062 permission from Newsom to shorten Magram&#8217;s disability medical\u200d evaluation. The lawsuit further claims that other senior\u2063 officers&#8217; grievances regarding Beevers&#8217; actions were also ignored by Newsom&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<p>Magram released a statement to the press, expressing his concerns for the welfare of the servicemembers\u200d and civilians currently serving in the department. He called Beevers&#8217; actions &#8220;disturbingly \u2062aggressive and unexplainable&#8221; and \u200ccalled for him \u2063to be held accountable. Magram\u2063 criticized Newsom for disregarding attempts to address the situation and appointing Beevers permanently as the Adjutant \u200dGeneral.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the lawsuit, the California Military Department denounced it as \u200d&#8221;retaliatory and baseless&#8221; and referred\u2062 to documents demonstrating Magram&#8217;s termination for causing the \u200cdepartment to lose\u2062 faith, trust, and confidence in his leadership abilities. They cited investigations by the United States Air Force Inspector General in 2021, which resulted\u200c in a \u2062Letter of \u200dAdmonishment for Magram due to misconduct and ethical violations.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of this lawsuit will determine whether Magram&#8217;s claims of anti-Semitic harassment, discrimination,\u2063 and retaliation \u2062are proven and whether there will be any repercussions for\u200c Newsom and other state\u200c officials involved in this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Governor Gavin Newsom and state officials are being sued by a former Air National Guard general, alleging wrongful termination.
