New: A source familiar with the situation tells me that there are “several investigations” ongoing relating to Gov. Gavin Newsom — I’m told they are focused on his wife’s taxes + his chief of staff. They did not originate from the main DOJ, but are out of Sacramento and involve whistleblowers, per source.
DOJ is declining to comment.
Gavin Newsom is panicking as Trump DOJ scrutiny hits: Claims federal agents are knocking on doors of family and former staff, demanding records, but insists it’s all political payback because he’s “considering” a presidential run.
“Trump’s coming after me for calling out his lies,” Newsom whines, daring accountability while spinning legitimate probes as revenge.
Typical California elitist deflection. If there’s smoke, there’s likely fire! It’s time for real oversight on the Golden State’s mess.
🚨🚨President Trump knew federal investigations into @GavinNewsom's activities would give him the attention he wanted -- but said the federal government should investigate anyway and raised repeated concerns about the California corruption under Newsom's watch -- the same type of corruption @JeddMcFatter and I chronicled through our book, 💰Fool's Gold: The Radicals, Con-Artists and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All💰 -- available on Amazon.
Gov. Gavin Newsom says he and his wife are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice at the direction of President Donald Trump.
Newsom says Federal agents have contacted friends, family, former employees and associates seeking records and requesting interviews.
If Newsom and California's "first partner" are truly under investigation, then he would have received a target letter from the FBI -- but Newsom doesn't mention a target letter.
It's 100% within the DOJ's purview to investigate allegations of corruption that involve possible federal crimes.
The FBI investigated Willie Brown when he was mayor of San Francisco for years -- but came up short, although they nabbed several of his San Francisco city employees.
NEW:
Sources close to situation tell me the U.S. Attorney's Office in Sacramento is the lead agency investigating Gov. Newsom and his wife.
Investigations involve his wife's non-profit tax activity and another involving his ex-chief of staff:

Oh, this is rich…
Gavin Newsom is now crying, demanding Trump leave his wife alone!
Yet, when I traveled to California and uncovered mass fraud, Gavin Newsom’s first instinct was to viciously ATTACK my family and wife @Nursekatejohn with lies.
Did you know this week a California man pled guilty to threatening to murder me and my family? This man used the same attacks that Gavin Newsom used in his murderous threat against us. Gavin has said nothing. Gavin does not care about attacks on innocent families. He encourages them…
When Nick Shirley uncovered mass fraud in California, Gavin’s first reaction was to smear @nickshirleyy a child predator (!!!) This could get Nick killed.
Yet we’re now supposed to feel sorry for Gavin because the DOJ is investigating his wife who is credibly accused of some dark crimes — and not just the ones she committed with Harvey Weinstein (look it up, really sick stuff)
Gavin Newsom is now pretending to be the ‘protector of women and families’ when he was caught boozing and banging his secretary — who was also his best friend’s WIFE (this is true, look it up)
Guess who defended Gavin’s monstrous behavior here abusing married women?
Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
These people are filth, and they deserve what’s coming to them…
We Palisades Fire victims are now in the discovery phase of our lawsuit against the State of CA and the City of LA. Over the next weeks, you'll finally learn shocking details of how badly Karen & Newsom screwed our town, and they haven't done anything to change. No more lies!
Gotta be honest, this @ufc event at the White House looks spectacular. This is a big time show. I’m not there, and we all know all the complaints folks had about renovations at and around the White House, etc, but — to be fair — this is some impressive stuff I’m looking at. Props to UFC President @danawhite and the show they’ve put on. It’s Bigtime. Plain and simple!!!
Despite all the dire predictions from the doomer crowd, last night’s UFC event at the White House was pure magic. The weather was fantastic—cool, breezy, and rain-free—and the much-hyped “mosquito apocalypse” turned out to be more fake news.
The fights were solid, but the walkouts stole the show. They showcased the historic East Wing, which often lives in the shadow of the West Wing, and the illuminated backdrop of the White House South Grounds was simply surreal. It was a spectacular setting and a memorable night.
@GuntherEagleman We don��t usually watch UFC, but we tuned in for the show of patriotism, it was Flag Day after all. I think my husband and son are now fans of the sport. It seemed to dominate the X feeds.
I thought the @ufc event at the White House was great.
Very different and very entertaining. Congrats @danawhite@realDonaldTrump 👏
And to my liberal friends shrieking in faux outrage about it, I say this: pick your battles with Trump, this ain’t a hill to hysterically die on.
