Gavin Newsom says Trump ordered DOJ to investigate him and his wife
Newsom says federal agents have questioned associates and sought records as the probe widened to his wife, with no public evidence of wrongdoing.
- On Monday, California Governor Gavin Newsom alleged the Justice Department is investigating his associates due to his political opposition to President Donald Trump, claiming Trump is "coming after me because I'm considering running for president."
- Federal agents have contacted family, friends, and business associates in recent weeks, with inquiries focusing on the taxes of his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and a former chief of staff, according to investigators from the FBI and IRS.
- Though former chief of staff Dana Williamson pleaded guilty to campaign finance fraud in May, Newsom's office said her conduct was "entirely unrelated to him," distinguishing her case from current probes.
- Harvard University political scientist Steven Levitsky described the investigation as "selective prosecution," arguing such tactics are used to disable political challengers rather than neutrally enforce law.
- Trump's administration has previously investigated adversaries including FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, raising concerns about whether the Justice Department is being deployed as a political tool.
