California Governor Says DOJ is Investigating Him and His Wife; Blames Trump
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
California Governor Gavin Newsom stated on Monday that the Department of Justice is investigating him and accused President Donald Trump of targeting him for political reasons. "Today, my wife and I became targets of Donald Trump. He has ordered his Department of Justice to investigate us," he said in a post on X. Agents have "knocked on the doors" of family friends and former employees. "Not because they found a crime, but because they are trying to find one," Newsom said in a video also posted on X. He claimed that investigators have demanded records and "random documents." Newsom, a Democrat who has repeatedly clashed with the president, said the investigation is politically motivated due to his criticisms of Trump and because he is also considering running for the White House. He added that he has done nothing wrong and that "we have nothing to hide." NBC News reached out to the Department of Justice and the White House for comments.
