Newsom alleges Trump DOJ is probing him and his wife in a political vendetta

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says the Trump administration’s DOJ is investigating him and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, issuing subpoenas to more than a dozen people connected to them and focusing on Siebel Newsom’s finances and related fundraising, including behested payments to the California Partners Project. The inquiry has been active for about a year and involves IRS and FBI agents; Newsom has cooperated and argues the probe is political retaliation as he weighs a presidential bid, noting a separate corruption case tied to Activision that did not implicate him.
