California Governor Gavin Newsom sparred with reporters after being pressed over why he has not publicly released his tax returns since 2020. During a tense news conference, Newsom dismissed the question by pointing to President Donald Trump, asking when Trump last released his own tax returns. The California governor also alleged that ongoing federal investigations involving him, First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom and people in his political orbit are part of a politically motivated effort by the Trump administration to "find something." The exchange comes as Newsom ramps up his national political profile ahead of a widely anticipated 2028 presidential bid.
