California Governor Newsom Claims DOJ Probe is Politically Motivated Amid Reports of Preexisting Investigations

California Governor Gavin Newsom claims that the Justice Department's investigation into him is politically motivated, but reports indicate that some investigations began before Trump's presidency. Newsom's office has sought records to clarify the situation, while the Acting Attorney General has questioned the validity of Newsom's claims. Investigations reportedly include scrutiny of Newsom's wife and their finances.
