Donald Trump isn&#8217;t just coming after me because of my mean tweets, he&#8217;s coming after me because I&#8217;m considering running for president, because he hates that I&#8217;ve consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Donald Trump is simply the most corrupt president in American history<\/strong>,&#8221; the governor added.<\/p>\n<p>The White House <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/06\/15\/us-news\/gavin-newsom-says-hes-being-investigated-by-department-of-justice\/\">declined to comment<\/a> when reached by the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s coming after my wife, Jen, a public servant, a woman who&#8217;s dedicated her life to supporting women and girls, someone who has done nothing wrong other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in,&#8221; Newsom said. &#8220;If they can&#8217;t intimidate me, they&#8217;ll go after the mother of our children. <strong>Donald Trump picked the wrong target.

He did it last night on the White House lawn. He&#8217;s doing it through crypto currencies, he&#8217;s doing it through the receipt of a $400 million private jet from a foreign government that he plans to keep when he leaves office through his son&#8217;s ventures in countries where his own administration is simultaneously making policy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, President Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7news.com\/post\/trump-says-california-is-fraud-investigation-newsom-responds\/18362682\/\">launched<\/a> a sweeping &#8220;Fraud Investigation of California,&#8221; blasting the state for wasting and potentially stealing billions in federal taxpayer dollars.
