Pho­tos have leaked of Cal­i­for­nia Gov­er­nor Gavin New­som break­ing his own author­i­tar­i­an COVID orders at a lav­ish mask-free birth­day din­ner for his polit­i­cal advis­er Jason Kinney.

The state’s guide­lines for Thanks­giv­ing say that res­i­dents who don’t can­cel their plans should cel­e­brate with not more than 2 oth­er house­holds, keep the time spent togeth­er to a min­i­mum and open win­dows or dine outside.

None of those rules were fol­lowed by New­som at this indoor din­ner at the French Laun­dry in Napa Coun­ty ear­li­er this month, pho­tos of which have been obtained by Fox LA.

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. 10pm on @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/gtOVEwa864
