Gavin Newsom claims Trump DOJ is now investigating him and his wife

California Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed Monday that the Trump administration has opened a criminal investigation into him and his wife, characterizing it as politically motivated retaliation. According to The New York Times, multiple federal investigations are underway. These are said to be examining the governor and his wife's finances, initiated by California-based federal law enforcement officials rather than Trump appointees in Washington. Federal agents have contacted several people linked to their family and allegedly subpoenaed banking records, though Newsom's office has not seen written documentation. Newsom, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, has floated as a 2028 presidential contender. In a video statement published Monday, Newsom said, "He's coming after me because I am considering running for President." He characterized Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's personal attorney — as weaponizing the Justice Department against political enemies, citing investigations into Jerome Powell, James Comey, Tish James, Adam Schiff, Tim Walz, and E. Jean Carroll. Newsom concluded, "One by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list. And today, I proudly join that list."Watch the video below.

CNN Tries to Turn Trump’s Iran Deal Into a Wedge Against Israel

MAGA Rep. Claims Giving Iran Billions of Dollars Is a Great Idea

The Republican Party is gung-ho for the second coming of former President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal, though this time, reaching similar terms will come at a tremendous cost to American taxpayers.In spite of the GOP’s well-worn insistence on federal frugality, some conservative lawmakers are suddenly in favor of the Trump administration’s reported plan to provide hundreds of billions in reconstructive aid to Iran. In an interview with Fox News Monday, Florida Representative Brian Mast defended the expense on the basis that “we destroyed so much.”“OK, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion, let’s say—we’re still $300 to $500 billion ahead considering we destroyed their Navy, destroyed their Air Force, destroyed all those nuclear facilities I already spoke about, their steel manufacturing, their drone manufacturing,” Mast said.“We destroyed all that, and closed their ports,” he added. “We’re pretty far ahead.”Rep. Brian Mast: "Ok, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion, let's say. Let's say we're still $300 to $500 billion ahead considering we destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force ...

The final draft reportedly proposes the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under Iran’s direction, a commitment from the U.S. not to interfere in Iranian affairs, and a reiteration of Iran’s commitment not to produce nuclear weapons, echoing language included in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, according to a senior Iranian official who spoke with Reuters.The most contentious point of the plan, however, is a reported $300 billion reconstruction fund, as well as billions more in unfrozen Iranian assets and forfeited sanctions—all of which will be bankrolled by U.S. taxpayers.That’s nearly 160 percent of the financial investment that the U.S. has put into Ukraine since Russia attacked it in 2022. That sum hovers around $188 billion, according to the U.S. special inspector general for Operation Atlantic Resolve.
