Newsom Says Trump's Justice Department Is Investigating Him and His Wife

California Governor Gavin Newsom says federal investigators are probing him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, with some inquiries focused on her finances. He asserts the investigations are California‑initiated, not driven from Washington, and cites FBI silence while the White House directs questions to the DOJ. Newsom characterizes the situation as a political instrument aimed at him because of possible presidential ambitions. The couple’s public profile includes nonprofits like the Representation Project, Girls Club Entertainment, and the California Partners Project, which counts donors with business before the state among its supporters. His aides note multiple inquiries and possible subpoenas of banking records, though no confirmations have been made.
