Following a multi-agency investigation into unlawful firearm possession and narcotics sales, we’ve arrested two individuals in Tulare County and recovered six firearms—including a pistol reported stolen in 2023—along with illegal drugs. At CA DOJ, we’ll continue working with agencies across the state to prevent gun violence and protect Californians. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…

Let’s be clear about the facts: California has more than 23 million registered voters — the 28 cases of alleged voter fraud announced this morning represent .0001% of that total. Isolated cases of voter fraud occur in red and blue states alike. As I’ve said repeatedly, any substantiated allegation of voter fraud should be taken seriously and, when supported by the facts and law, prosecuted. We have safeguards in place to protect election integrity, and they’re working.

We’ve secured a settlement with Fidelity over the company's past restrictions on the ability to withdraw certain cryptocurrencies. While the cryptocurrency market may be ever changing and shifting, California law does not. Investors have a right to access what they buy. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…

As part of a statewide effort to address copper wire theft with @LASDHQ and @LAPDHQ, we’ve arrested 2 individuals & recovered approx. 3,000 feet of stolen telecommunications wire valued at over $100K.   We won’t tolerate bad actors who plunge CA neighborhoods into darkness or cut off vital emergency services. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…

Following concerning reporting that Character AI chatbots fostered an emotionally and sexually exploitative relationship with a child, we launched an investigation into Character AI that identified potential consumer protection and privacy violations. Now that the company has filed for bankruptcy, we’re alerting the court to these issues, that must be addressed in any asset sale or transfer. My office looks forward to remaining actively engaged in the bankruptcy proceedings in order to protect Californians. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…

The Trump Administration is desperate. Their timing is suspicious. Their claims are meritless.    We look forward to making our case in court.

Absolutely devastated by the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon.    My heart is with the victims, survivors, their loved ones, and all of those hurting.     Gun violence is a stain on our nation. We must come together to stop it.

We can’t allow Trump’s immigration enforcement crusade to delay and disrupt the mission of our courts, because justice impeded is justice denied.

Mail ballots are already in most voters’ hands, and Election Day is less than three weeks away. Every count, recount, hand count, lawsuit, and audit has found that there’s no widespread voter fraud in the U.S. The Trump Admin’s last-minute demands are meritless, and we look forward to making our case in court.
Secretary Weber responded to the US DOJ’s letter alleging that an unspecified number of individuals the federal government “believes are likely noncitizens” were mailed a ballot for the November 2026 General Election. Read the full letter: tinyurl.com/5cpdrybh

The systemic cover-up of the Epstein pedophilic global sex-trafficking ring is a stain on our nation, and it’s time to clean house. We’re urging Congress to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act II—allowing state & local authorities to sue the U.S. AG over unlawfully withheld or redacted records. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…

Earthquakes can happen without warning. Knowing what to do when the shaking starts can help protect you and your family. Join millions of people for the Great ShakeOut on October 15 at 10:15 a.m. and practice three simple steps: DROP to the ground. COVER your head and neck and get under a sturdy table or desk if possible. HOLD ON until the shaking stops. Take a few minutes to practice now so you’re ready to act when an earthquake happens.

Election season is upon us. In California, every active, registered voter receives a ballot in the mail, and thanks to a major Supreme Court victory we recently secured, Californians can continue voting just as they have before – whether by mail, ballot drop box, early, or in-person on Election Day. With just three weeks until Election Day, now is the time to make a plan to vote! #VoteCA oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…

Martin Shkreli was banned for life from participating in the pharmaceutical industry after he orchestrated a scheme to increase the price of a lifesaving medication by more than 4,000%. He’s been violating that ban. Alongside @FTC & 7 AGs, we’re asking a federal court to hold him accountable. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…

Today, on the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, we mourn those murdered by Hamas terrorists and stand in solidarity with the survivors, their loved ones, and all Jewish communities. We also mourn the lives lost and communities decimated in the years since. May we strive for lasting peace and continue to combat hate and violence in all its forms.

Donald Trump used YOUR tax dollars to produce political campaign ads. Now he’s backing down after facing overwhelming bipartisan backlash and legal scrutiny. While this is good news, it doesn’t change the fact that these ads never should have wasted a dime of taxpayer dollars in the first place, they were blatantly illegal under federal law, and those responsible must be investigated and held accountable. cnn.com/2026/10/05/politics/…
There’s a reason there are laws in place that bar the use of taxpayer funds for political purposes. Yet, once again, this weekend, we saw shocking taxpayer-funded Trump campaign ads air in the middle of Sunday football. I call on federal watchdogs to investigate and prosecute this shocking misuse of public funding and breach of public trust. Californians should not have to pay for President Trump’s political grandstanding. oag.ca.gov/news/press-releas…
