According to a screenshot, one ominous-sounding post from an X account that no longer exists declared, "I'm just saying Harmeet Dhillon's address can't be hard to find." The screenshot also showed that after the person was asked what they were saying, they replied, "I'll let you know in two weeks."
Those posts appear to have been made in reply to a post from Izzy Gardon, Newsom's communications director.
"A few weeks ago, one of Trump’s top DOJ officials publicly targeted this judge. Today, the judge’s home is on fire," Gardon wrote on Sunday, referring to South Carolina circuit court Judge Diane Schafer Goodstein, whose house burned on Saturday.

Authorities are investigating the blaze at Goodstein's home and have not confirmed a cause. Three people were injured, and state investigators with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) are leading the probe, officials said.

"Ms. Dhillon owes us a full apology for her blatantly false implications," Gardon said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"Our office never threatened her, in contrast to the Trump Administration’s vile rhetoric against sitting judges. In recent weeks, Trump officials have referred to judges as ‘terrorists’ and ‘legal insurrectionists.’ She and her associates own that dangerous, disgraceful, and un-American rhetoric, and she should apologize for that, too," Gardon added.
