California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday accused President Donald Trump of ordering the Department of Justice to investigate the Democrat and his wife.
Newsom said in a post on X that Trump was motivated to target the governor and Jennifer Siebel Newsom with the probe because of the fact that “I am considering running for President.”
“Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us,” Newsom said in that post, which included a video message from the governor.
“They have not found a crime — they are simply trying to find one.”
