Gavin Newsom says Trump ordered DOJ to investigate him and his wife

Newsom says federal agents have sought interviews and records on him and Jennifer Siebel Newsom, but he gave no details of alleged wrongdoing.

  • On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the Department of Justice is investigating him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, claiming President Donald Trump is targeting him as a "political enemy."
  • The governor stated he joined the president's "hit list," alleging Trump directed the Justice Department to investigate his family following previous calls for his arrest last year.
  • Federal agents allegedly sought records and interviewed associates, which Newsom compared to investigations of New York Attorney General Letitia James and FBI Director James Comey.
  • "You can subpoena my records, you can investigate me, you can harass me," Newsom declared, accusing the administration of "abusing the grand jury process."
  • While the investigation's specific focus remains unclear, Newsom argued Trump is retaliating because he is a potential 2028 presidential contender and vowed to fight the "lawlessness.
