California Governor Gavin Newsom lashed out at President Trump and the Trump DOJ when asked about the federal investigation into his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
Last month, Newsom fumed as he announced the corruption probe had expanded, and he and his wife are now under investigation.
Newsom said federal agents have contacted people and organizations close to him and his wife, Jennifer Newsom.
People close to the Newsoms have been subpoenaed for records, according to the governor.
According to Semafor, there are several investigations related to Newsom and they are focused on Jennifer Newsom’s taxes (+ his chief of staff).
Contrary to Newsom’s claims, the investigations did not originate from main DOJ in DC, but are out of Sacramento and involve whistleblowers, Semafor reported.
The investigation began under the Biden Regime, but Newsom lashed out at President Trump during a question and answer session on Thursday.
“This is purely political. They were directed to find something. That’s everything you need to know about the weaponization of the DOJ under the Trump Administration,” Newsom told reporters.
“Abuses of the most corrupt administration in history,” Newsom said.

Earlier this month it was reported that the FBI used a Democrat insider as an informant to infiltrate Governor Gavin Newsom’s inner circle before the corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife.
The New York Post reported that Democrat insider Alexis Podesta wore a wire and recorded conversations during the corruption probe into Newsom’s former chief of staff Dana Williamson.
