Trump Ordered the DOJ to Investigate Me, Newsom Says. The White House Didn't Deny It.
California's governor goes public with a claim that has no parallel in modern American politics. The administration's non-answer is the story.
Allen Analysis / Drudge
There is a sentence Gavin Newsom posted to X on June 15, 2026, that deserves to be read slowly. "After calling for my arrest last year, Donald Trump directed his Department of Justice to investigate me."
Not: the DOJ opened an investigation. Not: federal prosecutors are looking into matters related to my administration. The governor of California, the largest state in the union, said the president of the United States personally ordered the nation's law enforcement apparatus aimed at him because he is considering running for president.
