Elie Honig: ‘There Is Serious Reason to Doubt’ Newsom’s Allegation That He’s Being ‘Targeted by Donald Trump for Political Retribution’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HONIG: “Well, based on what we know right now, Caitlyn, I think there‘s serious reason to doubt the narrative that‘s being offered by Gavin Newsom, which is that he is being specifically targeted by Donald Trump for political retribution. Now, to be sure, it is a fact that this administration has done that time and again, from Letitia James to Jim Comey to Jerome Powell to Mark Kelly on down the line. But based on the facts we know here, we don‘t know everything. It does not appear that that‘s what‘s happening here. First of all, very importantly, as Paula said, the reporting is that this investigation did not initiate from Donald Trump or even from prosecutors in D.C.. So not from Pam Bondi when she was a.g., not from Todd Blanche.”
