Schiff silent on Biden-era Newsom probe report as California AG claims DOJ 'weaponization'

California Attorney General Rob Bonta doubled down on Gov. Gavin Newsom's claims that the Trump administration is weaponizing the Justice Department after being pressed on reports that the federal probe involving Newsom and his wife originated in California and was not opened by the Trump Administration in Washington, D.C.

"I know what I've concluded is that this is highly dubious — there's no trust in it," Bonta said. "This is someone who's weaponized the U.S. DOJ time and time again. I think he's doing it now."
