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.
