联邦调查人员正在调查与加州第一夫人詹妮弗·西贝尔·纽瑟姆有关联的非营利组织，这让两家机构再次受到严格审查。保守派监督机构和媒体报道曾批评这两家组织涉嫌与纽瑟姆州长的政治圈子过近，存在利益冲突。
纽瑟姆指责唐纳德·特朗普政府的司法部针对他和妻子发起了带有政治动机的“钓鱼式调查”，但司法部尚未公开确认任何调查行动。此次被报道的调查再次引发了人们对“代表项目”和“加州合作伙伴项目”这两家与西贝尔·纽瑟姆有关联的非营利组织的质疑。这两家组织均接受了企业、部落和其他在加州州政府有利益诉求的实体的捐款。
尽管纽瑟姆将所谓的调查描述为政治迫害，但司法部尚未公开确认调查确实存在，不过有内部消息人士向媒体证实了这一点。最近，一位消息人士向《加州邮报》透露，联邦调查局正在调查西贝尔·纽瑟姆的税务问题。
“巨额现金流动，加上政府活动的性质和时机，都令人侧目——尤其是意外的巨额收益流向了捐款者，”美国公共信任组织执行董事凯特琳·萨瑟兰在2025年7月告诉《华盛顿自由灯塔报》，据称针对纽瑟姆妻子的调查正是在那时启动的。“是时候对这笔资金流动进行严格审查了。”
联邦检察官称纽瑟姆是“欺诈之王”，特朗普启动加州腐败调查
西贝尔·纽瑟姆的财务状况首次受到广泛关注是在2021年，当时《萨克拉门托蜜蜂报》报道称，“代表项目”从12家经常在加州游说以获取政策让步的企业获得了超过80万美元的捐款。该媒体还发现，许多向“代表项目”捐款的企业后来都获得了纽瑟姆政府的优待。
《萨克拉门托蜜蜂报》分析的数据显示，2011年至2019年间，每当她丈夫的政治生涯取得进展，西贝尔·纽瑟姆的慈善机构的收入就会激增。
前旧金山人权委员会负责人被指控“自我交易”和公共腐败
西贝尔·纽瑟姆直接从“代表项目”领取薪酬，年薪超过16万美元。
税务文件显示，“代表项目”每年还会向西贝尔·纽瑟姆拥有的一家媒体制作公司支付六位数的款项。
纽瑟姆称，联邦调查人员正在询问与他妻子有关联的人员，包括她所在非营利组织的相关人员，作为针对他们财务状况调查的一部分。
这位加州州长称此次调查是唐纳德·特朗普政府司法部出于政治动机发起的“钓鱼式调查”，并表示他和妻子“没有什么可隐瞒的”。他说，调查针对他是因为他正在考虑竞选总统，“为了扳倒我，他拿我的妻子开刀”。
司法部尚未公开确认此次调查，并拒绝置评。匿名向美国有线电视新闻网透露消息的人士坚称，此次调查并非由华盛顿的司法部领导层发起，而是当地官员在收到举报人举报后主动展开的。
纽瑟姆向州企业高管赠送免费手机的活动由前员工运营的非营利组织出资
在《萨克拉门托蜜蜂报》报道数年后，《华盛顿自由灯塔报》于2025年发布了后续调查，据称揭露了类似的模式。
加州有一套独特的制度，政客可以通过“授意”，即基本相当于请求，要求个人或组织向慈善机构捐款。通过这套制度，纽瑟姆在2020年2月至2026年3月期间向“加州合作伙伴项目”拨付了约430万美元。
通过比对加州州政府记录和非营利组织税务文件可以发现，2020年至2024年间，纽瑟姆的授意捐款占“加州合作伙伴项目”总收入的80%以上。
新爆料称加文·纽瑟姆执政期间加州至少损失1800亿美元欺诈资金
批评人士指出，向西贝尔·纽瑟姆关联慈善机构捐款的多个捐赠者后来都从纽瑟姆政府的政策中获益，不过纽瑟姆否认捐款与州政府决策之间存在任何关联。
2024年，纽瑟姆因反对旧金山北部的一个赌场项目登上新闻头条。他写信给拜登政府，敦促阻止该项目，而当联邦政府允许项目继续开发时，他又起诉了联邦政府。
然而，就在纽瑟姆写信给拜登政府的几个月前，他曾要求一个美国印第安部落向“加州合作伙伴项目”捐款50万美元。在2025年4月起诉联邦政府前不久，他又提出了同样50万美元的捐款要求。该美国印第安部落同意了这两项请求。
前非营利组织负责人被指控挪用120万美元用于无家可归者项目的资金以维持奢华生活，检察官称
这笔捐款意义重大，因为该拟建赌场项目将与仅15英里外的格托兰契里亚联合印第安人部落运营的赌场形成直接竞争。
向纽瑟姆家族慈善机构捐款的实体通常否认捐款附带政治条件，称他们捐款是因为真心认同这些组织的女权主义使命宣言。然而，多家保守派媒体将这种安排描述为“付费换取政策倾斜”的阴谋。
与“代表项目”不同，纽瑟姆的妻子并未从“加州合作伙伴项目”领取薪酬，但在丈夫的授意下转入该组织的资金仍为她开展关心的激进主义事业提供了资源。

纽瑟姆夫妇还面临自我交易的指控。西贝尔·纽瑟姆的企业制作的多部电影在加州公立学校放映，通过将税收资金流向个人企业，为这个加州第一家庭创造了收入。
在受到公众审查后，西贝尔·纽瑟姆的慈善机构似乎变得更加不透明。
“代表项目”的一位女发言人在2021年告诉《萨克拉门托蜜蜂报》，该慈善机构会在其网站上披露所有5000美元以上的捐款者；然而，截至本文发布时，该网页并不存在。
科默要求纽瑟姆“聘请律师”，众议院监督委员会启动加州欺诈调查
纽瑟姆还面临另一项审查，即捐款者是否在捐款后获得了州政府的好处。
2025年《华盛顿考察家报》的一项调查发现，向纽瑟姆捐款的 wealthy 捐赠者后来获得了数百万美元的公共合同、大量税收抵免、有利的行政命令以及 prestigious 公共职位的任命。

纽瑟姆否认存在利益冲突或捐款与州政府决策之间存在交换条件的情况。他在2021年谈到这些捐款时表示：“没有任何关联，绝对没有，完全没有。”他解释说，他的决策是基于政策判断做出的。

Federal investigators are probing nonprofits linked to California first lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom, putting renewed scrutiny on two organizations that conservative watchdogs and media reports have criticized over alleged conflicts of interest tied to their proximity to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political orbit.
Newsom has accused President Donald Trump’s Justice Department of launching a politically motivated “fishing expedition” against him and his wife, but the DOJ has not publicly confirmed any probe. The reported inquiries have revived questions about The Representation Project and California Partners Project, two nonprofits connected to Siebel Newsom that have received donations from corporations, tribes and other entities with interests before California state government.
While Newsom has cast the purported investigation as a political witch hunt, the DOJ has yet to publicly confirm that a probe is even taking place, though internal sources speaking to media outlets have confirmed as much. Most recently, a source speaking to the California Post claimed that the FBI was looking into Siebel Newsom’s taxes.
“The sheer amount of cash, combined with the nature and timing of government activity, is eye-catching — especially when unexpected windfalls are benefiting the contributors,” Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland told the Washington Free Beacon in July 2025, around the time sources claim the probe into Newsom’s wife began. “It’s past time for this cash flow to fall under intense scrutiny.”

Siebel Newsom’s finances first came under major scrutiny in 2021 when the Sacramento Bee reported that TRP had received more than $800,000 from a dozen corporations that frequently lobby the state of California for policy concessions. The outlet also found that many of the companies that donated to TRP later received favorable treatment from Newsom.
Data analyzed by the Sacramento Bee showed that Siebel Newsom’s charity saw its revenue spike whenever her husband’s political career advanced between 2011 and 2019.

Siebel Newsom pays herself directly from TRP, pulling a salary of over $160,000 a year.
TRP also cuts six-figure checks to a media production company owned by Siebel Newsom each year, tax documents show.
Newsom claims federal investigators have questioned people connected to his wife, including those affiliated with her nonprofits, as part of an inquiry involving their finances.
The California governor has called the investigation a politically motivated “fishing expedition” by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department and said he and his wife have “nothing to hide.” He said the inquiry is aimed at him because he is considering running for president and that “to get me, he’s coming after my wife.”
The Justice Department has not publicly confirmed the investigation and has declined to comment. Sources speaking to CNN on the condition of anonymity insist that the investigation was not requested by DOJ leadership in D.C. but was instigated by local officials after they received whistleblower reports.

Years after the Sacramento Bee report, the Washington Free Beacon released a follow-up investigation in 2025 that reportedly uncovered a similar pattern.
California has a unique system through which politicians can “behest,” basically request, that a given individual or organization make a contribution to a charity. Through this system, Newsom routed roughly $4.3 million to TCPP between February 2020 and March 2026.
Cross-referencing California state records and nonprofit tax documents shows that behests made by Newsom accounted for over 80% of the TCPP revenue between 2020 and 2024.

Critics have pointed to several donors to Siebel Newsom-linked nonprofits that later benefited from actions by Newsom’s administration, though Newsom has denied any connection between the donations and state decisions.
Newsom made headlines in 2024 for opposing the construction of a casino project north of San Francisco, writing a letter to the Biden administration urging it to block the project, then suing the federal government when development was allowed to continue.
Just months before Newsom sent his letter to the Biden administration, however, he requested that an American Indian tribe give $500,000 to TCPP. He asked for another half a million dollars just before suing the federal government in April 2025. The American Indian tribe agreed to both requests.

The payments are significant because the proposed casino project would have competed directly with a casino run by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria just 15 miles away.
Entities that have donated to Newsom’s family charities typically deny that their contribution had political strings attached, stating instead that they cut the checks because they genuinely believed in feminist mission statements of the groups. Multiple conservative media outlets, however, have characterized the arrangement as a “pay for play” scheme.
While, unlike TRP, Newsom’s wife doesn’t draw a salary from TCPP, the funds transferred to it at the request of her husband nonetheless provide her with resources to spend on activist causes she cares about.

The Newsoms have also been hit with allegations of self-dealing. Many of the films produced by Siebel Newsom’s enterprise are shown in California public schools, generating revenue for California’s first family by routing tax dollars to their personal enterprises.
Following the public scrutiny, Siebel Newsom’s charity appears to have become less transparent.
A TRP spokeswoman told the Sacramento Bee in 2021 that the charity discloses all donors over $5,000 on its website; however, as of publishing, no such webpage exists.

Newsom has separately faced scrutiny over whether donors received state benefits after contributions.
After donating to Newsom, wealthy contributors have secured multimillion-dollar public contracts, access to large tax credits, favorable executive action and appointments to prestigious public posts, a 2025 Washington Examiner investigation found.

Newsom has denied any conflict of interest or quid pro quo involving donations to his wife’s nonprofits, saying of the donations in 2021, that “there’s no correlation, period, full stop. Absolutely none,” explaining that his decisions were made on the basis of policy judgement.
TRP, TCPP, Newsom’s office and the DOJ did not respond to requests for comment when reached by Fox News Digital.
