Trump's political rival Gavin Newsom said that Trump is targeting him and his wife by investigating them, without specifying the allegations. The California governor has locked horns with Trump on several occasions. A source familiar with the investigations says they had been ongoing for "roughly a year".

Federal agents have contacted friends, former employees, and organizations tied to Newsom and his wife. California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and longtime political rival of Republican President Donald Trump, said Monday the president had ordered the US Justice Department to launch a politically motivated investigation into him and his wife.
