The U.S. Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation into Governor Gavin Newsom's international and some domestic travel. Investigators issued subpoenas for six years of records and communications from the California State Protocol Foundation, a nonprofit funded by private donors. Newsom has dismissed the probe as a politically motivated attack by Donald Trump, while others suggest it is a legitimate inquiry into potential 'pay to play' schemes.
