The details
Replying to @WallStreetApes
The DOJ investigations tied to Gavin Newsom (and associates like his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom) originated around 2025, roughly a year before Newsom’s public announcement on June 15, 2026. kcra.com axios.com Key Timeline Details • 2025 origins: Multiple federal probes (led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento) began from local/state whistleblower complaints, not at the direction of President Trump or Washington DOJ leadership. These included: • A tax-related inquiry into Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s nonprofit organizations and finances (some reports specify early 2025). abcnews.com • A separate corruption/wire fraud case involving Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson (indicted in 2025 under the prior administration; she took a plea deal in May 2026). calmatters.org • June 2026 escalation: Newsom’s office stated that investigators began actively contacting friends, former employees, and associates in June 2026. In the days/weeks leading up to June 15, federal agents (including FBI/IRS) reached out to more than a dozen people, sought records, and reportedly used grand jury subpoenas for bank/financial documents. Newsom framed this as a politically motivated “fishing expedition” tied to his potential 2028 presidential run and criticism of Trump. kcra.com nbcnews.com • June 15, 2026 public announcement: Newsom released a video accusing Trump of weaponizing the DOJ. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed ongoing probes but disputed that they were newly ordered from Washington—they had been running locally for about a year. nytimes.com In short, the underlying investigations started in 2025 (pre-Trump’s second term), with heightened activity and direct outreach to Newsom’s circle beginning in June 2026. No charges have been filed against Newsom or his wife as of the latest reports. Details come from Newsom’s statements, law enforcement sources, and news outlets; the DOJ has declined to comment.

another W for @ChicagosMayor
Another massive L for Chicago. In 2014, George Lucas picked Chicago for a $1 billion privately funded museum for his legendary collection - Star Wars artifacts, Norman Rockwell paintings, etc. Zero taxpayer dollars. A left-wing nonprofit (“Friends of the Parks”) sued, claiming a parking lot was sacred “public trust land.” After years of delays, Lucas said screw it and took the whole thing to LA. Opening this September. It looks incredible. Meanwhile, Chicago rammed through the Obama Presidential Center on 19.3 acres of historic Jackson Park. • Originally ~$300M → now $850M (nearly 3x over) • Promised 2021 opening → now opening June 2026 (5 years late) • Promised $470M endowment so taxpayers wouldn’t get stuck → only ~$1M deposited One museum Chicago blocked. One museum Chicago rammed through. Chicago’s priorities on full display.
