12:28Now PlayingBrian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian discuss California Governor Gavin Newsom who publicly announced on June 15, 2026 that the Trump DOJ has opened a criminal investigation into him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Federal agents have knocked on the doors of family friends and former employees, subpoenaed financial records tied to the governor's family and associated nonprofits, and expanded their inquiry into what Newsom's office describes as "increasingly personal matters" — particularly after Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal attorney, took over as acting Attorney General. The probe is focused primarily on Siebel Newsom's tax filings and potential personal use of nonprofit funds connected to her organizations, the California Partners Project and the Representation Project.
