'''William Newsom''' is a former US Appeals Court Judge and father of [[California]] [[Democrat]] governor [[Gavin Newsom]].
Newsom served on the board of directors of Trans-International Computer Investment Corporation (TCI), a [[Silicon Valley]] computer firm with ties to [[military]]-[[intelligence abency|intelligence]] [[front]]s under its president Otto von Bolschwing, [[SS]] officer and early associate of [[Adolf Eichmann]]. Newsom also acted as the company's [[attorney]]. The two traveled together extensively in [[Europe]] to secure business deals with Bolschwing contacts in banking and industry.
TCI had intelligence-linked activities, such as monitoring the [[1967 Arab-Israeli War]] and was connected to broader networks involving the [[Gehlen Organization]] and [[CIA]] through von Bolschwing's ongoing status as an asset. TCI filed for [[bankruptcy]] in 1971 amid a stock [[fraud]] scandal. Von Bolschwing obtained [[US]] [[citizen]]ship in 1959 under [[Operation Paperclip]], which was revoked in 1981 upon revelation of his [[Nazi]] past.
