Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
California Governor Gavin Newsom has confirmed that he and his wife are under investigation by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) led by President Donald Trump. The investigations were reportedly initiated at the request of Trump.
Newsom stated that the investigations involve both himself and his wife, but did not provide further details on the nature of the inquiries or what they might entail.
The news comes as part of a broader trend of investigations into public officials by the Trump administration. Several high-profile figures have been targeted in recent months, including former White House aide Jared Kushner and former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Newsom’s office has declined to comment further on the specifics of the investigation or what steps he is taking in response. The California State Portal website also posted a statement from Newsom regarding the matter.
It is worth noting that the investigations are ongoing, and no charges have been filed against Newsom or his wife at this time.
