🚨Governor Newsom is lying through his teeth.
He claims this investigation is a Trump orchestrated political hit job because he’s considering a presidential run. That’s false.
The probe into his wife’s nonprofit and taxes originated from whistleblowers in California and has been handled locally by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento, not Washington.
For over a decade, IRS records show The Representation Project paid Jennifer Siebel Newsom 1.8 million dollars in salary and funneled another 2.1 million dollars to her personal production company, nearly 4 million dollars total.
This is what career politicians do. When they get caught in the grift, they lie, play victim, and scream political persecution to grab headlines.
