SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Meg Whitman’s campaign for governor was thrown into turmoil Thursday as the Republican sought to fend off new evidence that she knowingly had an illegal-immigrant housekeeper on her payroll for nearly a decade.
Whitman denounced the allegations as a “baseless smear attack” by Democratic challenger Jerry Brown. She says she fired the $23-an-hour housekeeper last year immediately after learning she was illegal.
