Investigators have extensive wiretap evidence and may soon charge several individuals in a sprawling corruption probe involving Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Newsom.
It was reported earlier this month that the FBI used a Democrat insider as an informant to infiltrate Governor Gavin Newsom’s inner circle before the corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife Jennifer Newsom.
Recall that Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, was indicted on federal wire fraud charges last year.
Last month, Newsom fumed as he announced the corruption probe had expanded, and he and his wife are now under investigation.
Newsom said federal agents have contacted people and organizations close to him and his wife, Jennifer Newsom.
“Today, my wife and I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime – they are simply trying to find one,” Newsom said in a video posted to X last month.
“If he can’t intimidate me, he’ll go after the mother of our children,” Newsom said.
People close to the Newsoms have been subpoenaed for records, according to the governor.
According to Semafor, there are several investigations related to Newsom and they are focused on Jennifer Newsom’s taxes (+ his chief of staff).
Contrary to Newsom’s claims, the investigations did not originate from main DOJ in DC, but are out of Sacramento and involve whistleblowers, Semafor reported.
Earlier this month, the New York Post reported that Democrat insider Alexis Podesta wore a wire and recorded conversations during the corruption probe into Dana Williamson.
The investigation is much bigger than previously reported.
According to award winning reporter Adam Housley, investigators have extensive wiretap evidence… and additional people are implicated beyond those publicly known.

Jennifer Newsom was wiretapped.
The wire was on Gavin’s wife…so I am told. Doesn’t mean she wore a wire; it means that, with a court order, law enforcement can intercept the contents of communications (phone calls, text messages, or other electronic communications) from a phone line or device. The target is… https://t.co/LF0sUM09PN
