Democratic Governor of California Gavin Newsom's wife is now facing scrutiny over finances tied to her nonprofit.

According to IRS filings reviewed by the Daily Mail, Jennifer Siebel Newsom paying herself and her company, Girls Club LLC, more than $3.7 million over the past decade through her gender advocacy nonprofit called The Representation Project.

The organization saying online its mission is to challenge gender stereotypes through film, education and activism, producing documentaries, including misrepresentation,

and The Mask You Live In, a documentary following boys and young men, quote, as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America's narrow definition of masculinity.

Financial filings reviewed by the Mail show the nonprofit bringing in between $1 million and $1.7 million a year in grants and donations with $300,000 going to Siebel Newsom and her company.

That includes $150,000 in salary for her and another $150,000

paid to Girls Club LLC for filings described as writer, director, and producer fees tied to the films.

A Daily Mail analysis finding compensation at the nonprofit exceeds that of more than 95% of charities of a similar size.

Other executives also receiving six failure salaries, including the executive director and CFO for the fiscal year ending in March of 2024.

The outlet noting, not all of the 300,000 paid to the company

necessarily goes directly to Siebel Newsom, as the business may have production costs and overhead.

The Daily Mail also noting that several donors to the charity, including utility company PG&E and AT&T Comcast and Kaiser Permanente, also receiving state contracts or funding from the Newsom administration.

Critics arguing this raises ethical questions, although Newsom and his wife maintain there is no impropriety in their dealings.

The Representation Project declining to comment on the Daily Mail's reporting.

AM Update reached out to Governor Newsom's office and the Representation Project for comment, but did not hear back.
