California Governor Gavin Newsom has publicly accused US President Donald Trump of using the Justice Department for a politically motivated investigation against him and his family.
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday accused US President Donald Trump of directing the Justice Department to undertake a politically motivated investigation of him and his wife.
“Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets,” Newsom said in a video statement posted to social media.
“He’s coming after me because I am considering running for President.”
The Justice Department and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Newsom said federal agents had in recent days been knocking on the door of members of his family, friends and former employees, demanding records and digging through years-old documents.
“Not because they found a crime. Because they are simply trying to find one,” he said.
