Gavin Newsom said Monday that the Justice Department is investigating him and his wife, and he accused President Trump of pushing for the probe as political retribution.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2056\">GOP leaders nix Trump plan to pair SAVE America Act with spy law extension<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday my wife &amp; I joined Donald Trump\u2019s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us,\u201d Mr. Newsom, a Democrat,\u200b said in a video posted to X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends and former employees. Not because they found a crime, but because they\u2019re simply trying to find one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors initiated the probe last year and it is related to the tax filings of Mr. Newsom\u2019s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n<p>Citing sources familiar with the investigation, the Times said it was launched in Sacramento based on information provided by whistleblowers and was not directed out of Washington or ordered by Mr. Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In March, The New York Post reported that Mr. Newsom was taking advantage of a campaign finance loophole to funnel $4.4 million to a political nonprofit founded by Mrs. Siebel Newsom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The California Partners Project, a nonprofit she founded in 2020 to promote gender equality, raked in millions of dollars shielded from donation disclosures that apply to PACs or other purely political organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was unclear whether the probe is focused on those donations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re demanding records, they\u2019re abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents. Donald Trump isn\u2019t just coming after me because of my mean tweets; he\u2019s coming after me because I\u2019m considering running for president, because he hates that I\u2019ve consistently called him out over and over again for lies and deceit,\u201d Mr. Newsom said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2054\">B-52 bomber crashes at Edwards Air Force Base in California<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The governor said agents were \u201ccoming after\u201d Mrs. Siebel Newsom, whom he described as \u201ca public servant\u201d who \u201cdedicated her life to supporting women and girls and someone who has done nothing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they can\u2019t intimidate me. They\u2019ll go after the mother of our children. Donald Trump picked the wrong target. We have nothing to hide,\u201d Mr. Newsom said.<\/p>\n<p>The White House referred a request for comment to the Justice Department, which declined to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Newsom, who is considering a 2028 White House run, has repeatedly clashed with Mr. Trump, including mocking the president\u2019s social media posting style with his own posts.<\/p>\n<p>They have been at odds over issues such as the California wildfires, immigration, redistricting and Mr. Trump\u2019s decision to deploy the National Guard to quell anti-immigration enforcement protests over the governor\u2019s objections. The president has derided the California governor as \u201cNewscum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Newsom pointed out that his alleged investigation follows a spree of federal indictments and probes against Mr. Trump\u2019s political foes, including former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff, California Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>In all of the cases, Mr. Trump publicly urged the Justice Department officials to go after them.
