Federal investigators are reportedly examining the finances and nonprofit activities of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, California’s “first partner” and wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom. The governor went public Monday, accusing President Trump of orchestrating the probes as political revenge against a potential 2028 presidential rival.
That framing deserves a hard look.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom is not simply the governor’s wife caught in a crossfire. She is the founder of multiple nonprofit organizations. She is a public advocate who has used her position to influence public policy. She is associated with organizations that have received millions of dollars from donors, including those with direct interests before state government.
