Newsom said the event took place outdoors.
However, photographs, along with their metadata, prove that they were indoors.
High ranking state medical officials also attended the event.
I never trust anyone who isn't willing to live by the same rules that they expect everyone else to live by.

NAPA VALLEY, CA — Officials from the California Medical Association joined Gov. Gavin Newsom among other guests at a top California political operative’s birthday dinner this month, Politico reported.
The French Laundry dinner, attended by prominent medical and political figures in California, has drawn criticism from the public during a week when Californians were saddled with sweeping new restrictions amid a surge in COVID-19 cases.
CEO Dustin Corcoran and top CMA lobbyist Janus Norman both sat among guests at the elite Napa Valley restaurant to celebrate Jason Kinney’s 50th birthday, a lobbyist and longtime adviser to the governor, Politico reported.
The group was larger than three households, which is prohibited in the state’s coronavirus safety guidelines. And the presence of top medical officials has the potential to further criticism from Californians, who have called the gathering hypocritical.
"EXCLUSIVE: We've obtained photos of Governor Gavin Newsom at the Napa dinner party he's in hot water over. The photos call into question just how outdoors the dinner was. A witness who took photos tells us his group was so loud, the sliding doors had to be closed. "
"We checked the metadata on the photos to confirm legitimacy. Taken at 11/6/2020 at 6:20pm with a location tag at The French Laundry. We interviewed the witness. We've also reached out to the Governor's team for a response, and we got one. "
