California Governor Gavin Newsom claimed Monday that President Donald Trump has directed the Department of Justice to investigate him and his wife, documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, calling the move politically motivated and tied to speculation about a future presidential run.
"Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump's hit list," Newsom wrote on X. "He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime, they are simply trying to find one."
