California Governor Gavin Newsom claimed on Monday that President Donald Trump has directed the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate both him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, describing the move as a politically motivated effort tied to his potential presidential ambitions.
In a statement posted on social media, Newsom wrote: "Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump's hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime. They are simply trying to find one."
