Newsom Pushes 100% Tax On Trump DOJ Payouts As Political Battle Over “Weaponization” Fund Escalates
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is reportedly escalating his latest clash with President Donald Trump by pledging to pursue a 100% tax on any payments Californians receive from the administration’s newly created “anti-weaponization” fund, a controversial program already fueling sharp partisan battles nationwide.Newsom made the remarks Wednesday while criticizing the Department of Justice initiative, which was established earlier this month after Trump agreed to drop a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service tied to the leaking of his tax returns during his first term in office.
“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we wanna tax 100% of those proceeds,” Newsom said. “And that’s an action the state of California can take. It’s an action we look forward to taking.”
In a social media post accompanying video of his comments, the Democratic governor described the fund as a “slush fund,” further intensifying the already bitter rhetoric surrounding the unprecedented program.
