McCluskie is one of four co-conspirators listed in a federal indictment that accused Gov. Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, of 23 fraud-related charges.
Greg Campbell and McCluskie appeared in court last Friday, when they both pleaded not guilty. Campbell is expected to change his plea during his Dec. 4 court hearing.
If Williamson's case goes to trial, the two men could testify against her for a lesser punishment for their accused crimes.
Becerra is a former member of Congress and was appointed California Attorney General in 2017. He was then reelected in 2018, when Williamson ran his campaign. Becerra was later appointed by former President Joe Biden as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
The federal documents said about $225,000 was stolen from Becerra's dormant campaign account and used for personal use.
The court documents alleged Becerra did not know about the scheme. Newsom's office said last week that the governor was unaware of any investigation involving him, and that Williamson was placed on leave in late 2024 after learning she was under criminal investigation.
In her first court appearance last week, Williamson pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison.
