Governor Gavin Newsom stated on Monday that he and his wife were reportedly placed on a list of targets by Donald Trump. Newsom alleged that Trump had directed the Justice Department to initiate an investigation against them. According to the governor, the investigation, he claimed, was not based on evidence of wrongdoing, but rather an effort to fabricate charges.
“They did not find any crime – they are just trying to find it,” Newsom stated in a video posted on the platform X. He further asserted that Trump’s actions were motivated by his potential candidacy for the presidency, rather than any content shared on social media. Newsom did not specify the nature of the accusations leveled against him.
The Justice Department has not yet issued a comment regarding the request for comment. Newsom indicated that the investigation involved reviewing a large volume of documents. He also mentioned that his wife, Jennifer, has reportedly been subject to government scrutiny.
While addressing the possibility of further actions, Newsom stated that while Donald Trump might pursue investigations or label him an adversary, he asked that his wife and children not be implicated in the matter.
