California Governor Gavin Newsom alleges President Trump's DOJ is investigating him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, in a politically motivated probe tied to his potential 2028 presidential run. Newsom says federal agents contacted associates and subpoenaed records, focusing on payments to his wife's film production company.
The White House referred inquiries to the DOJ, which did not comment; Newsom calls it a "hit list" and warns Trump to leave his family alone. The feud escalates as Trump previously criticized Newsom's dyslexia, while Newsom accuses Trump of corruption.
The governor insists he has nothing to hide and dares the president to continue the investigation, vowing to remain defiant.
