加州州长加文·纽瑟姆周一表示，司法部正在调查他和他的妻子，并声称唐纳德·特朗普总统是"因为我在考虑竞选总统，所以来找我。"
纽瑟姆是一名民主党人，他没有具体说明司法部据称调查他的具体原因，但表示他的妻子詹妮弗·西贝·纽瑟姆是目标之一。
“最近几天，联邦特工敲了家人、朋友和前雇员的门，”纽瑟姆在社交媒体上的一个视频帖子中说。“不是因为他们发现了犯罪，而是因为他们只是想找到一个。”
在周一下午与记者的电话中，Newsom的办公室表示，根据收集到的一些与Newsom有关的人被询问的信息，它认为大陪审团已经发出传票，要求金融机构提供记录。该办公室表示，调查人员询问了具体交易的细节，如果不传唤他们，他们不可能知道这些细节。
纽瑟姆的办公室表示，它没有看到任何传票，银行向客户透露他们收到了传票是非法的。
纽瑟姆在视频中说，司法部正在“年复一年的随机文件”中寻找，并在他描述为钓鱼探险的过程中“要求记录”。
纽瑟姆声称，他最近了解到，特朗普和政府也在追踪他的妻子，以打击他。
“就在上周，我得知他的竞选活动已经到了我自己的家:为了抓我，他正在追杀我的妻子珍。公务员。一个毕生致力于支持妇女和女孩的女人，”纽瑟姆周一说。
他的办公室还表示，正在寻求司法部从特朗普第二任期开始到现在的文件和通信的公共记录请求，这些文件和通信涉及他和他的妻子。
特朗普政府对总统的反对者发起了多项刑事调查，包括前美国联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米和纽约州总检察长莱蒂夏·詹姆斯——他们两人的指控都被联邦法官驳回。今年早些时候，DOJ对科米提出了新的指控，指控他威胁要伤害总统。
科米在5月份告诉美国广播公司新闻，他不能讨论针对他的案件的细节，但他说:“我不仅无罪，我是无辜的，我有出色的律师，他们也是我的朋友，所以我们将在法庭上尽最大努力。我对此感觉很好。”
纽瑟姆的办公室拒绝透露正在调查的具体情况，称记者必须询问司法部。该公司还表示，它无法猜测DOJ关注的焦点是什么，不过它说，它可以看出诉讼并不局限于个人财务。
当美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)就对纽瑟姆及其妻子的调查联系到司法部发言人时，该发言人拒绝置评。
州长办公室表示，它不知道检察官向纽瑟姆或他的妻子发送了任何目标信件，这表明指控即将发生。该办公室也不知道与Siebel Newsom有任何直接接触，但表示相信已向至少为她合作过的一些实体持有账户的金融机构发出了传票。
知情人士告诉ABC新闻，2025年，加州的调查人员开始检查纽瑟姆妻子的税务。
“你可以传唤我的记录，你可以调查我，你可以骚扰我，把我的名字放在你所有的敌人名单上，但不要把我的妻子和家人牵扯进你的个人恩怨，”纽森说。
电影制作人西贝·纽瑟姆(Siebel Newsom)领导着两个专注于性别平等的组织——非营利代表项目和加州合作伙伴项目(California Partners Project)，后者是一个旨在提高女性在领导层中的代表性的组织。
据信，这项调查是由美国加州东区检察官办公室进行的，Newsom的前参谋长达纳·威廉姆森(Dana Williamson)在5月份对银行欺诈和其他指控认罪。该案件不涉及对纽瑟姆或其妻子犯罪或不当行为的任何指控。
尽管纽瑟姆尚未正式宣布参加2028年总统竞选，但他在几个月前就证实，他愿意参加竞选，并被广泛认为是竞选的领先者。近年来，他在全国媒体巡回演出，主持一个引人注目的播客，并经常与特朗普进行社交媒体斗争。
很抱歉，这段文本暂时无法提供译文
“加文喜欢宣传，但我认为这将是一件伟大的事情，”特朗普当时说。特朗普后来说，纽瑟姆犯下的罪行是“竞选州长，因为他做得太糟糕了。”
纽瑟姆在周一的视频中声称，他只是最新一个挑战总统的人出现在他的“暗杀名单”上他还将所谓的调查与特朗普最近提名他的前私人律师托德·布兰奇(Todd Blanche)担任司法部长联系起来。布兰奇目前担任代理职务。
California Gov. Gavin Newsom says Department of Justice is investigating him, his wife
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the Department of Justice is investigating him as well as his wife, and claimed that President Donald Trump is"coming after me because I'm considering running for president."
Newsom, a Democrat, did not specify exactly what the Department of Justice was allegedly investigating him for, but indicated his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom is among the targets.
"In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees," Newsom said in a video post on social media. "Not because they found a crime, because they're simply trying to find one."
In a call with reporters Monday afternoon, Newsom's office said it believes, based on some of the information it gleaned about what people connected to Newsom were asked, that grand jury subpoenas had been issued for records to financial institutions. The office said investigators asked about details about specific transactions that would not have been possible for them to know without subpoenaing them.
Newsom’s office said it has not seen any subpoenas and it would be illegal for banks to disclose to customers that they had received one.
Newsom said in the video that the Department of Justice was rooting through "years and years of random documents" and "demanding records" in what he described as a fishing expedition.
Newsom claimed he learned recently that Trump and the administration are also coming after his wife in order to get at him.
"Just in the last week, I’ve learned his campaign has reached my own home: to get me, he’s coming after my wife, Jen. A public servant. A woman who has dedicated her life to supporting women and girls,” Newsom said Monday.
His office also said it is pursuing a public records request for documents and communications from the Department of Justice from the start of Trump’s second term until now that reference him and his wife.
The Trump administration has initiated multiple criminal investigations into opponents of the president, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York State Attorney General Letitia James -- both of whom had their charges dismissed by federal judges. The DOJ brought new charges against Comey earlier this year for threatening to harm the president.
Comey told ABC News in May he could not discuss details of the case against him, but said: "I am not just not guilty, I am innocent, and I have amazing lawyers who are also my friends, so we will do our absolute best in a courtroom. And I feel good about it."
Newsom’s office declined to go into specifics about what is being investigated, saying reporters would have to ask the Department of Justice. It also said it isn’t in a position to speculate about what the DOJ is focusing on, although it said it can tell that the proceedings are not focused narrowly on personal finances.
A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment when reached by ABC News about the investigation into Newsom and his wife.
The governor’s office said it does not know of any target letters sent by prosecutors to Newsom or his wife, which would indicate charges are imminent. The office is also not aware of any direct engagement with Siebel Newsom, but said it believes subpoenas were issued to financial institutions that hold accounts for at least some of the entities she has worked with.
Sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News that in 2025, investigators in California began examining Newsom's wife's taxes.
“You can subpoena my records, you can investigate me, you could harass me, put my name on every and any enemies list you have, but leave my wife and family out of your personal vendetta,” Newsom said.
Siebel Newsom, a filmmaker, leads two organizations focused on gender equity -- the nonprofit Representation Project and the California Partners Project, an organization to boost female representation in leadership.
The investigation is believed to be run out of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California, where Newsom's former chief of staff Dana Williamson pleaded guilty in May to bank fraud and other charges. That case did not involve any allegations of criminality or wrongdoing by Newsom or his wife.
Though Newsom has not officially announced a 2028 presidential run, he confirmed months ago that he is open to a bid and is widely considered a frontrunner in the race. He has toured the national media circuit in recent years, hosts an eye-catching podcast and often engages in social media fights with Trump.
Trump has publicly gone after Newsom before. In June 2025, he called for Newsom’s arrest as protesters clashed with the Trump-deployed National Guard in Los Angeles. At the time, border czar Tom Homan refused to rule out arresting state and local officials if they obstructed immigration operations. Newsom told Homan to come and arrest him, and Trump encouraged Homan to do so.
"Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing," Trump said at the time. Trump later said that the crime Newsom committed was "running for governor because he's done such a bad job."
Newsom claimed in the Monday video that he was just the latest person to challenge the president andend up on his "hit list."He also tied the alleged investigation to Trump’s recent nomination of Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer, as attorney general. Blanche currently serves in an acting capacity.
