代理司法部长托德·布兰奇周三驳斥了加州州长加文·纽瑟姆有关司法部正对其进行政治打压的指控，称该州长的说法并非“基于事实”。
布兰奇回应了纽瑟姆此前的言论，纽瑟姆上月称司法部是在唐纳德·特朗普总统的指令下，正对他和妻子詹妮弗·西贝尔·纽瑟姆展开调查。
尽管布兰奇拒绝就任何正在进行的调查置评，但他驳斥了纽瑟姆的说法。

“关于他的所作所为和所言，我只想说，我不确定他的话在任何程度上符合事实，”布兰奇在新闻发布会上说道。
“这一点他必须自己解释，”布兰奇补充道。
纽瑟姆6月15日声称，特朗普下令司法部调查他和他的妻子，以破坏他可能发起的白宫竞选活动。
这位加州州长将此次调查描述为特朗普领导的司法部出于政治动机的“钓鱼执法”，称他和妻子“没有什么可隐瞒的”。纽瑟姆还辩称，此次调查针对他是因为他正在考虑竞选总统，并表示：“为了扳倒我，他连我的妻子都不放过。”

“唐纳德·特朗普盯上我，不只是因为我在推特上怼过他。他盯上我，是因为我正在考虑竞选总统，”纽瑟姆说道。“因为他痛恨我一遍又一遍地揭露他的谎言和欺诈行为。唐纳德·特朗普简直是美国历史上最腐败的总统。”
布兰奇也驳斥了纽瑟姆对事件的整体定性。
“他可以随便说任何他认为对自己有利的话，”布兰奇说，“但这并不会让它变成真的。”

此前有消息人士告诉福克斯新闻，此次调查自2025年以来一直在进行，线索来自与纽瑟姆及其妻子个人财务相关的举报人投诉。该案件由萨克拉门托的美国检察官办公室负责处理。
联邦消息人士向福克斯新闻证实，调查涉及詹妮弗·西贝尔·纽瑟姆，但福克斯新闻尚未得知有任何直接针对纽瑟姆州长本人的联邦调查。
司法部尚未公开证实任何涉及纽瑟姆或其妻子的调查。
詹妮弗·西贝尔·纽瑟姆是一名纪录片制片人，运营着“代表项目”，这是一个旨在通过媒体制作推进女权主义事业的非营利组织。福克斯新闻数字频道此前曾报道，该慈善机构面临“付费换取影响力”的指控，批评人士称，那些在加州有商业利益的企业向该组织捐款，以期对纽瑟姆施加影响。
“唐纳德·特朗普为了达到目的或阻碍阻碍他的人，显然没有任何底线。这不是总统应有的行为，州长和我将继续揭露强权真相，因为美国人民理应得到更多，”詹妮弗·西贝尔·纽瑟姆在此前发给福克斯新闻的一份声明中说道。
在布兰奇周三发表上述言论后，纽瑟姆的办公室在社交媒体上发布了一张表情包，配文是“你怎么总是撒谎”。
该州长的新闻办公室还写道：“特朗普的走狗们应该知道，对记者撒谎不算犯罪。”

Acting AG Todd Blanche says Newsom’s DOJ claims are not ‘grounded in fact’
The acting attorney general pushed back after Newsom claimed Trump directed the Justice Department to target him ahead of a potential 2028 bid

Gavin Newsom denies wrongdoing as federal investigation examines finances
Fox News correspondent Max Gorden reports on a federal investigation into the finances of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Wednesday rejected California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claims that the Justice Department is politically targeting him, saying the governor’s assertions are not “grounded in fact.”
Blanche responded to comments made by Newsom, who said last month that the Justice Department is investigating him and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, under orders from President Donald Trump.
While Blanche declined to comment on any ongoing investigations, he dismissed the governor’s claims.

“The only thing I’ll say about what he chose to do and what he chose to say is, I’m not sure his words are in any way grounded in fact,” Blanche said during a news conference.
“He’d have to address that,” Blanche added.
Newsom claimed June 15 that Trump had directed the Justice Department to investigate him and his wife in an effort to undermine a potential White House campaign.
The California governor has described the investigation as a politically motivated “fishing expedition” by Trump’s DOJ, saying he and his wife have “nothing to hide.” Newsom has also argued the inquiry is aimed at him because he is considering a presidential run, saying, “To get me, he’s coming after my wife.”

“Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean Tweets. He’s coming after me because I am considering running for President,” Newsom said. “Because he hates that I’ve consistently called him out – over and over again – for his lies and deceit. Donald Trump is simply the most corrupt President in American history.”
Blanche also rejected Newsom’s broader characterization of the situation.
“He can choose to say whatever he thinks helps him,” Blanche said. “It doesn’t make it true.”

Sources previously told Fox News the investigation has been ongoing since 2025 and is based on whistleblower complaints related to Newsom and his wife’s personal finances. The matter is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento.
Federal sources confirmed to Fox News there are investigations involving Jennifer Siebel Newsom, but Fox News has not learned of any federal investigation directly targeting Gov. Newsom himself.
The Justice Department has not publicly confirmed any investigation involving Newsom or his wife.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom is a documentary filmmaker who runs The Representation Project, a nonprofit organization that seeks to advance feminism through media production. Fox News Digital previously reported the charity has faced “pay-for-play” allegations, with critics claiming corporations with business interests in California donated to the organization in an effort to gain influence with Newsom.
“There are clearly no boundaries to what Donald Trump will do to get his way or to challenge those who get in his way. This is not presidential behavior, and the Governor and I will continue to speak truth to power because the American people deserve so much more,” Jennifer Siebel Newsom said in a previous statement to Fox News.
Following Blanche’s remarks Wednesday, the governor’s office posted a meme on social media with the caption, “Why you always lyin.”
The governor’s press office also wrote, “Trump goons know that it’s not a crime to lie to a reporter.”
