What the federal probe of Newsom and the first partner means for his presidential ambitions

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom, whom Newsom claims is a politically motivated attack by President Donald Trump. Siebel Newsom's for-profit and nonprofit organizations, including the Representation Project and Girls Club Entertainment, are under scrutiny for financial ties involving behested payments, which are legal in California but considered ethically questionable by some media outlets.
