“When Gavin Newsom made the startling announcement on Monday that he and his wife were under federal investigation, the California governor turned to a well-worn strategy: making political hay out of confrontation with President Trump,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Newsom, a Democrat, said in a social-media video that Trump was behind the Justice Department probe ‘because I am considering running for president.’ Less than three hours later, Newsom’s political-action committee sent out a fundraising plea urging supporters to help him ‘stand up to Trump and fight off this political witch hunt.'”
“Since Trump’s return to the White House, Newsom has used his bully pulpit to position himself as one of the most prominent faces of the Democratic Party’s resistance to the president.”
