CA Gov Gavin Newsom’s Friend and Adviser Arrested for Allegedly Attempting to Suffocate 4-Year-Old Child

An adviser to the Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom and a somewhat prominent Democratic strategist is now facing domestic violence charges. Nathan Ballard was reportedly arrested on two felony domestic violence charges which include an attempt to suffocate his four-year-old girl with a pillow. 

Ballard has denied the allegations saying, “I’ve spent my career in crisis communications fighting on behalf the wrongfully accused, and now for the first time I really know what it feels like to be in their shoes,”

He followed that statement by saying, “I will be exonerated. I love my children more than anything on earth, and we will be reunited.”

According to the report,  “Ballard grabbed the pillow from the bed, placed it onto the child victim and laid on top of the pillow, placing his weight on the child victim who was under the pillow,’’

This is a disgusting thing to hear and we will have to see if any evidence is supplied to the judge as this could be a big hit to the Governor and Ballard’s reputation as a Democratic Strategist. 

This is not the first time Democrats have been caught in serious scandals like Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and journalist Jeffery Toobin caught on camera sexually pleasuring himself.

Ballard seems confident that he will be found not guilty but the charges he is facing seem to be serious and it is hard to think of who would falsely accuse him of trying to suffocate his four-year-old daughter with a pillow. 

Politico reported in part:

The former San Francisco deputy city attorney has been called a “media whisperer” for his high profile roles as the mouthpiece and crisis communications point person for a parade of public figures and A-list corporate clients. He served as spokesperson for then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, a role he has also played for the Democratic National Committee and the California Democratic Party, the Getty family, the Golden State Warriors, the Super Bowl and for the presidential campaigns of former Sen. John Kerry and Gen. Wesley Clark.

Henry Wofford, spokesperson for the Napa County Sheriff’s Department, confirmed Ballard’s arrest in Napa. None of the three victims — an adult and two children — are identified due to privacy concerns.

Sources say the events occurred at the swanky Carneros Resort and Spa where, according to victim statements, Ballard reportedly “had consumed a large amount of alcohol and some marijuana.’’

The adult victim told authorities that Ballard “charged her and pushed her with both hands into the glass doors,’’ causing her to fall and hit the back of her head on the door. Ballard also stumbled and fell onto the ground, bleeding, according to documents on file with the Napa County Sheriff’s department.
