Newsom Under FBI Probe | Sacramento News

Three weeks after Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife were thrust into federal scrutiny, no subpoenas have been issued—but agents are reportedly interviewing friends and former staffers. Newsom insists investigators are hunting for a crime, not prosecuting one, and claims the probe is politically driven, though sources say it began locally in Sacramento. Multiple investigations are underway: one targeting tax issues tied to his wife’s nonprofits, another involving former staff—including his ex-chief of staff, who previously pleaded guilty to unrelated charges. Nonprofits linked to the First Partner and the governor’s travel fund remain silent on federal contact. A wiretap rumor involving a consultant was swiftly denied by the governor’s office, which insists it’s unrelated to his administration. The former chief’s attorney says she was contacted about a separate inquiry into Newsom but had no info to share. Crucially, it’s still unclear if Newsom has hired his own legal team.
