In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that President Trump “has created the conditions” surrounding the Los Angeles protests. The governor went on to call Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard “a manufactured crisis,” then addressed White House border czar Tom Homan’s threats of arrest. “Tom, arrest me. Let’s go,” Newsom said. The governor also plans to sue the Trump administration over its deployment of the National Guard.
