Newsom accused of playing victim over DOJ probe
New York Post Columnist Karol Markowicz accuses California Governor Gavin Newsom of playing the victim card and lying about President Trump weaponising the Department of Justice to investigate him and his wife. “This all began in the Biden administration. This is not new. These are not new charges … in fact, he has this back door because of the Trump presidency to say I didn't do anything here, we’re totally innocent,” Ms Markowicz told Sky News host James Morrow. “The truth is, it has nothing to do with Donald Trump. The Justice Department was investigating it before the Trump presidency began.”
