"Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one," Newsom wrote on X.
"He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.
He is simply the most corrupt President in American history."
Initial Corruption Probe (2025):
The original Justice Department investigation opened during the Biden administration. This probe initially focused on Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty to fraud and corruption charges.
Tax and Financial Inquiries (Early 2025): A specific probe into Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, began in early 2025. This inquiry, triggered by whistleblower complaints, focuses on her tax filings and the personal use of nonprofit funds linked to her foundation.
Recent Escalation (June 2026): While the foundational investigations began over a year ago, the case publically intensified in June 2026. Governor Newsom announced that federal agents had aggressively expanded their tactics, executing subpoenas and actively questioning his friends, former employees, and political associates.
Have they gone through Dana's knicker draawers yet? Until then, nuffin' to see here.
