## Resource

New allegations suggest the FBI infiltrated California Governor Gavin Newsom's inner circle by convincing one of his associates to wear a recording device before the Justice Department reportedly launched investigations involving people around the governor. Newsom has accused the Trump Justice Department of targeting him for political reasons as speculation grows about a potential 2028 presidential campaign. This clip breaks down the reported investigations, the claims surrounding Newsom's former chief of staff, and what these developments could mean politically.
