Zak PaineHOST
She is the one who oversees Gavin Newsom's overseas travel, as well as his chief protocol officer, and just happens to be the wife of San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie.
Zak PaineHOST
Now, those documents provide the clearest picture yet of the scope of a federal investigation effort seeking Gavin Newsom, which was first disclosed in June and which said he was focused on not only him, but also his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
Zak PaineHOST
Those records requested by this subpoena are for use in a criminal investigation pending in the Eastern District of California.
Zak PaineHOST
That is according to one of the subpoenas.
Zak PaineHOST
They will review the evidence and testimony and decide whether or not there is sufficient grounds for an indictment.
Zak PaineHOST
I would have to believe at this point there must be.
Zak PaineHOST
Now, in addition to investigating the Protocol Foundation, federal prosecutors are probing the taxes of Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

Jake TapperHOST
The First Lady of California, Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, was not Newsom's first wife.
Jake TapperHOST
[whimsical music] That was Kim Guilfoyle, who would go on to become a close ally of President Trump, even engaged to Donald Trump Jr. at one point.

Newsom and Guilfoyle took a photograph for a 2004 profile in Harper's Bazaar, a photograph that the internet cannot seem to forget.

Donald Trump is simply the most corrupt president in American history.

And we spend a lot of time covering Gavin Newsom on this podcast, including the latest, where he revealed that he and his wife are the subject of a federal investigation where the federal government is looking into the business practices of the first partner, Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
John PhillipsHOST
And I always correct people when they say that Gavin Newsom is the most corrupt statewide constitutional officeholder in the state of California because I don't believe he holds a candle to your opponent in this race, Rob Bonta, who appears to be pay to play across the board, going all the way back to his time in Oakland when he was a member of the assembly.
John PhillipsHOST
We now know from reporting from Susan Dyer Reynolds and others that that state money and money from donors were directed by Bonta when he was in the legislature to different projects that are affiliated with his wife, Mia Bonta, who's now a member of the legislature.

Other notable contributors are foundations linked to wealthy philanthropist Susie Tompkins and Lise- Lisa Stone Pritzker, both of whom have helped bankroll Governor Newsom's political activities and propped up his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and her non-profits.
Rich ZeoliHOST
And we know the Federales are looking into Jennifer Siebel Newsom's taxes as well, because it seems like Pretty Jen winds up directing all this money and then making money off this foundation, which then winds up donating to her foundations, and then she gets money off of that personally.
Rich ZeoliHOST
And then those foundations, those, the, the groups that make the money to the foundations' donations, wind up getting California business.
Rich ZeoliHOST
Now, Newsom is trying to frame this as they're just going after him, and it's a badge of honor, 'cause there's nothing there.

Maybe there just happens to be a there there.
