Newsom Accuses DOJ of Political Targeting
Description
Governor Gavin Newsom is accusing the Justice Department of launching a politically motivated investigation targeting him and his wife, claiming it’s part of a broader effort by Donald Trump to silence his potential presidential run. Federal agents have reportedly subpoenaed records from friends and former staffers, probing personal finances and past dealings — including a tax probe into his wife and a separate investigation into his former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty to campaign fraud. Newsom insists he’s been unfairly targeted, calling the probes a misuse of power and warning that Trump is unfit for office. The situation underscores growing concerns that law enforcement is being weaponized against political opponents, echoing past patterns under the Trump administration.
