Newsom Accuses DOJ of Political Probe

Governor Gavin Newsom is accusing the Justice Department of launching a politically motivated investigation targeting him and his wife, claiming it’s retaliation for his outspoken criticism of Donald Trump and his potential presidential run. While federal agents have been contacting friends and former staff, seeking records and probing personal matters, sources say no direct probe into Newsom exists—but multiple related investigations are underway, including one into his wife’s taxes and another involving his former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance fraud. Newsom alleges Trump is orchestrating this retaliation, calling it part of a broader pattern of weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents. His wife echoed the sentiment, saying Trump has no boundaries when facing opposition. The escalating tensions underscore the deepening rift between California and the federal government under Trump’s administration.
