Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom were spotted hobnobbing with Democratic royalty in Chicago Thursday morning days after they announced the Tump administration was investigating them.
The Newsoms were seen attending the opening of former President Barack Obama’s Presidential Library, their first public appearance since the bombshell probe was made public.
Newsom was seen chatting it up with everyone from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro to Oprah Winfrey.
Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender, accused President Trump on Monday of directing the US Department of Justice to investigate him, his wife, and other family members as an act of political retaliation as he considers a 2028 run.
A source familiar with the matter told The Post that the Newsom administration is facing multiple investigations, touching on accusations of public corruption that stretch back at least a year concerning the governor and his wife, as well as former and even current staff.
