Newsom has repeatedly criticized President Donald Trump and his administration. In addition, Newsom has been mentioned as a Democratic candidate in the 2028 presidential election.
On Monday, Newsom wrote on social media that friends and former colleagues have been contacted by federal agents requesting various documents. Newsom accuses Trump of being behind the requests:
"Donald Trump is not after me because of my nasty tweets. He is after me because I am considering running for president, and because I have repeatedly called out his lies and deceit."
