Newsom says federal probes reached him and wife amid Trump feud
What's new: People around the California governor were questioned, and one probe appears to examine his wife's taxes and nonprofit finances.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said federal investigations have reached him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, as agents question friends, former employees and people tied to her nonprofit groups. In a video posted Monday, Newsom cast the scrutiny as political retaliation by President Donald Trump while he considers a White House run. A person familiar with the matter said multiple probes involving people around Newsom are underway, including one tied to his wife's taxes, but said they began last year in California after whistleblower complaints and were not opened by political leaders in Washington. The full scope remains unclear, and the Justice Department and FBI did not comment.
