Newsom said in a post on X that Trump was motivated to target the governor with the probe because of the fact that “I am considering running for President.”
“Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us,” Newsom said that post.
“They have not found a crime – they are simply trying to find one.”
