Summary
California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta joins Governor Gavin Newsom in accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing the Justice Department, calling the current probe into Newsom and his wife a blatant political attack fueled by Trump’s alleged “hit list” targeting potential 2028 presidential contenders. Bonta warns that Trump has turned the DOJ into a tool for political persecution, eroding public trust, while Newsom’s office demands transparency by requesting documents from Trump’s Justice Department, revealing the investigation—rooted in 2025 whistleblower complaints about finances—was never initiated in Washington.
