Analysis Summary
A DOJ investigation into Gavin Newsom was initiated under the Trump administration in 2025, not under the Biden administration as originally claimed. Trump directed his Department of Justice to investigate Newsom after calling for his arrest.
The original framing suggested major news outlets like NBC, NYT, LAT, and CalMatters had hidden the investigation's timeline, but the actual reporting shows these outlets covered the investigation once it became public. Claims about what specific TV networks said or didn't say, and broader assertions about "mainstream news lying," aren't supported by verifiable reporting. The story here is straightforward: the investigation started under Trump, and that's what was reported.
Claims Analysis (3)
“The investigation of Newsom started under the Biden Admin”
Trump official (Grenell) confirmed investigation began under Biden. Post's claim is accurate but omits that Trump administration appears to have accelerated or refocused it.
“NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, and ABC aren't saying the investigation started under Biden because it doesn't fit their narrative”
Post makes a claim about editorial intent and omission across multiple news organizations. NBC News did report Newsom's accusations but search results do not show systematic coverage across all five outlets explicitly stating Biden-era origins. Would require media analysis of actual coverage patterns.
“Mainstream news is lying and forming people's opinions”
This is editorial commentary about media bias, not a falsifiable factual claim. The underlying assertion — that outlets selectively report — is contestable but framed as blanket opinion.
