Gavin Newsom says he’s being investigated by Department of Justice

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Monday that the Department of Justice has launched an investigation into him, his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and other family members. Newsom alleges in a social media post that President Trump directed the DOJ to target him because he is considering a run for president. This development is viewed as another instance of a political adversary claiming that Trump has weaponized the DOJ to target his enemies through federal probes.
