Newsom's wife's relatives hosting Trump fundraiser in California: reports

A billionaire relative of California Gov. Gavin Newsom's wife is hosting a major fundraiser for former President Trump in California on Friday, according to reports. Tom and Stacey Siebel are hosting a fundraiser in the Bay Area community of Woodside for Trump on Friday afternoon. Tom Siebel, a billionaire software developer and CEO of his own enterprise AI software company, C3.ai, is a second cousin once removed of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Los Angeles Times reported. Tom Siebel has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Trump's 2024 campaign and PACs supporting the Republican nominee, according to the Times and the San Francisco Gate. Newsom has been a vocal critic of Trump and was a surrogate for President Biden's now-defunct re-election campaign.
