The Department of Justice is investigating Gavin Newsom’s wife, according to a person familiar with the matter, in a move the Democratic California governor blasted Monday as politically motivated.
The disclosure of the probes became the latest example of Donald Trump’s Justice Department investigating people the president considers adversaries. The person familiar with the matter, however, insisted the agency’s political leadership wasn’t involved in opening the investigation, saying the probe was instead prompted by whistleblower reports last year.
