California Governor Gavin Newsom declared this Monday that both he and his wife are under investigation by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).

Newsomj posted a video on social media in which he claimed that federal agents tried to talk to his family, friends and former employees, demanded documents and reviewed years of files.

The state president accused the DOJ, under the administration of Donald Trump, of abusing the grand jury process.

"Donald Trump is not just attacking me because of my offensive tweets. He is attacking me because I am considering running for president, because he hates that I have repeatedly called him out for his lies and deceptions," Newsom said.

“Donald Trump is, quite simply, the most corrupt president in the history of the United States,” reiterated the governor of California.
