There is no direct evidence of a connection between Gavin Newsom and Hunter Biden. However, some observers have noted that both sons of former Vice President Joe Biden, Hunter and his brother Beau, have connections to the Obama administration, during which time Newsom was mayor of San Francisco. Hunter Biden has done business in California with entities Newsom has been associated with, such as the San Francisco 49ers and Herbalife. Newsom and the Bidens also have a long friendship history, having attended a number of events together, including the opening of Beau Biden’s law firm, Hunter’s book launch and Beau’s funeral.
