Newsom didn\u2019t provide specifics on the nature of the probe, but his office said the inquiry appears to have recently expanded into \u201cincreasingly personal matters involving the Governor\u2019s family and professional network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=1489\">Basketball vs. the Beautiful Game: the fight for America\u2019s summer sports attention<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump isn\u2019t just coming after me because of my mean tweets,\u201d Newsom said, referencing his use of social media to mock Trump. \u201cHe\u2019s coming after me because I\u2019m considering running for president, because he hates that I\u2019ve consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The full details of any Justice Department inquires related to Newsom were not immediately clear. But the revelations were likely to escalate accusations from critics that the Trump administration is using the law enforcement agency as a weapon to go after Trump\u2019s political opponents.<\/p>\n<p>A person familiar with the matter denied the existence of an investigation specifically targeting the governor, but said there are multiple federal probes into people around him, including one related to his wife\u2019s taxes. The probes began last year after complaints from within California government, and political leadership in Washington was not involved in the decision to open them, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department declined to comment on Monday. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to answer questions about Newsom during a brief photo opportunity with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Capitol Hill Monday afternoon. Blanche had a scheduled meeting with Grassley to discuss his\u00a0nomination to become attorney general.<\/p>\n<p>They are the latest Justice Department investigations surrounding one of Trump\u2019s political foes foes. The Justice Department has also opened investigations into or brought prosecutions against former\u00a0FBI Director James Comey,New York Attorney General Letitia James,\u00a0former CIA director John Brennan\u00a0and former\u00a0Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, among other perceived political enemies of the president.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cOne by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list, and today I proudly join that list,\u201d Newsom said in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=1487\">Team USA star Ricardo Pepi grew up in a trailer in El Paso\u2014and his parents pawned their car title to fuel his soccer dream.

The governor\u2019s office accused the Justice Department of \u201csearching for a crime that does not exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the governor\u2019s wife, said the investigation showed that Trump is unfit for office.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere are clearly no boundaries to what Donald Trump will do to get his way or to challenge those who get in his way,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The president has repeatedly gone after the Democrat-dominated state during his second term including by curbing a signature plan to reduce planet-warning\u00a0emissions from cars, withholding aid for\u00a0wildfire recovery\u00a0and suing over state policies supporting\u00a0transgender student-athletes. The state has pushed back by suing the federal government dozens of times.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom also led a push to counteract a Trump-backed effort in Texas to redraw congressional districts to favor Republicans by championing a successful redistricting measure in California designed to win Democrats five additional House seats.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Durkin Richer reported from Washington.
