Acting AG Todd Blanche says Newsom's DOJ claims are not 'grounded in fact'

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche dismissed California Gov. Gavin Newsom's claims that the Justice Department is politically targeting him and his wife, stating the governor's assertions are 'not grounded in fact.' Newsom alleged President Donald Trump directed the DOJ to investigate him and his wife due to his potential presidential run, but Blanche declined to comment on ongoing investigations.
