Retired Brig Gen Jeffrey Magram fired last year after reports he used
troops to run personal errands

Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom and another state officials are
facing legal action from a fired Air National Guard general who says he
faced antisemitic discrimination, harassment and retaliation before being
wrongfully terminated last year.

Retired Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Magram, who is Jewish, filed the lawsuit on
Jan. 24 in a Los Angeles court. Magram is alleging that his former
superior, Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers, who now serves as the California
Military Department's adjutant general, created a hostile work environment
by engaging in numerous antisemitic behaviors over a period of two years
and that complaints related to his conduct went unanswered by Newsom.

Magram made headlines in January 2023 when his firing in that month
followed reports he used troops to carry out personal errands, including
taking his mother shopping, and that he readied a fighter jet for a
"possible domestic mission" in 2020 during the early days of the
coronavirus pandemic, which spurned fear among officials the order would
result in a plane "buzzing" civilian protesters in an attempt to disperse
crowds.

An internal disciplinary board substantiated the multiple allegations
against Magram prior to his involuntary transfer to the Air Force retired
reserve, which reports at the time said was "parallel" to a firing.

Magram, however, disputes those reasons for his termination and instead
says it's because he spoke out against Beevers' alleged behavior, which,
according to Magram, included statements referring to another general as
being so cheap he "gives Jewish people a bad name" and making the
statement, "How Jewish can you get," regarding another Jewish service
member's attempt to obtain a military discount on a vehicle.

According to Magram, each instance of alleged antisemitism by Beevers was
witnessed by at least one other senior officer and that he reported them
to Newsom's office on six different occasions.

After reporting the behavior, Magram says Beevers' animus toward him
became evident when he allegedly began "resurrecting and misrepresenting
minor settled issues" that were up to a decade old in what the former
argues was an attempt to force him out of the department ahead of the
latter's promotion to adjutant general in Aug. 2022.

The lawsuit says that when Magram refused to quit, Beevers unsuccessfully
attempted to undo the former's disability claims, for which he was
receiving benefits from the Guard, and subsequently got approval from
Newsom to cut short his disability medical evaluation, causing him to lose
certain benefits.

It adds that similar other senior officers' complaints about Beevers to
Newsom's office also went ignored.

"I am extremely proud of my more than 37 years of service to California
and this great nation, but I still have serious concerns for the welfare
of the servicemembers and civilians that currently serve in the
Department," Magram said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "MG Beevers
mounted an unprecedented defamatory campaign against me, and it was
supported by the Governor."

"I want to make sure this never happens again. MG Beevers actions were
disturbingly aggressive and unexplainable, and he needs to be held
accountable," he added. "It's shocking that Governor Newsom disregarded
the many attempts made to correct this situation and appointed MG Beevers
permanently as the Adjutant General."

When reached for comment, Newsom's office referred Fox News Digital to the
California Military Department, which blasted the lawsuit as "retaliatory
and baseless" and provided documents that showed Magram was fired for
causing the department to "lose faith, trust, and confidence" in his
ability to continue serving as a leader in the organization.

"In 2021, the United States Air Force Inspector General investigated
Brigadier General Magram for multiple instances of misconduct involving
ethical violations and maltreatment of subordinates. On 26 October 2021,
the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force issued Brigadier General Magram a
Letter of Admonishment for these indiscretions," a department spokesperson
said in a statement.

"This independent action by the Air Force formed the basis of a removal
action initiated by the California Military Department to hold Gen. Magram
accountable for his misconduct. The recommended discipline was unanimously
upheld by a board of three senior officers with no involvement in the
underlying incidents," they said.

"All actions were taken based on independent investigations by the U.S.
Air Force and the Military Department Inspector General. We look forward
to defending our actions to hold a senior leader accountable for his
misconduct," they added.
