California Governor Gavin Newsom has accused President Donald Trump of directing a Department of Justice probe into him and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom is a prominent filmmaker and advocate who has served as California's First Partner since 2019.
She is a documentary filmmaker, actress, and gender-equity advocate who has focused on issues related to women's representation in media, workplace equality, and social justice.
Siebel Newsom was born in San Francisco and attended Stanford University before working in production, acting, and documentary filmmaking.
She established The Representation Project, a charity that investigates how media stereotypes affect society.
The couple met in 2006 and got married in 2008 after a blind date arranged by a mutual acquaintance.
Jennifer assumed responsibility as California's first partner after Gavin was elected governor in 2018 and co-founded the California Partners' Project, a nonprofit organization that works to advance child welfare and gender equality.
