Gavin Newsom says Trump Justice Department is investigating him and his wife

Speaking during a recent public appearance, Newsom alleged that federal authorities have expanded their scrutiny to include members of his family. While he did not provide detailed information about the nature of the alleged investigation, the governor characterized the move as politically motivated and part of a broader effort to target political opponents.

“This is about more than me,” Newsom reported

ly said. “It’s about using the power of government against people who disagree with the administration.”

The Justice Department has not publicly confirmed the existence of any investigation involving Newsom or his wife. Federal agencies typically decline to comment on ongoing investigations, making it difficult to independently verify the governor’s claims.
