I'm writing because something is happening right now that should alarm every American, regardless of party: the Department of Justice appears to be running a politically motivated investigation against a sitting governor who is openly considering running for president. Federal agents are knocking on the doors of family friends and former employees of Governor Newsom and his wife, demanding records and documents. No crime has been identified. This isn't law enforcement — it looks like a president using federal power to intimidate a political opponent.
This matters beyond California. When the DOJ becomes a tool for going after people who might challenge the president, none of us are safe. If this can happen to a governor, it can happen to a mayor, a city councilmember, a business owner, a neighbor who speaks up at the wrong moment. The grand jury process exists to protect people and pursue real crimes — not to harass families at the direction of the White House.
I'm asking you to call publicly for a congressional investigation into whether the Department of Justice is being directed to investigate political opponents, and to demand the DOJ Inspector General review how this investigation was opened and who authorized it. The rule of law only works if Congress is willing to defend it. Please use your seat on the People's behalf and demand answers now.
Please open a congressional investigation into whether the DOJ is targeting political opponents, and demand an Inspector General review immediately.
