Don't Let Trump Use the DOJ to Threaten Newsom & Challengers

Donald Trump’s Justice Department is reportedly investigating Gavin Newsom, his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and people close to them — and Newsom says Trump is targeting him because he may run for president.

This is a direct threat to every potential candidate in the next presidential election, and our democracy as a whole.

If Trump is using federal investigators against Newsom, he can do it to anyone who dares stand in his way. Every governor, senator, activist, donor, or public official thinking about opposing Trump is now on notice: challenge him, and the federal government could come for you next.

Tell Congress: Investigate Trump DOJ’s attack on Gavin Newsom and ensure that Trump can't threaten his opponents with prison for criticizing him.

Americans have seen this playbook before — from Putin and other authoritarians who criminalize opposition, threaten rivals’ families, and use prosecutors to make dissent dangerous.

We cannot let that happen here.

The Justice Department is supposed to enforce the law — not protect Trump, punish his critics, or scare off political candidates he doesn't like.

Congress must force the truth into daylight — who authorized the investigation, what evidence justified it, and whether Trump or his allies pushed the DOJ to target a political rival.

Giving the president the power to scare off political candidates would be a terrifying step towards full-blown dictatorship.

Add your name now and demand Congress investigate Trump DOJ’s attack on Gavin Newsom before criminal intimidation of Trump's opponents becomes the new normal.

Thanks for all that you do,
