Court documents allege that Williamson, 53, conspired with others to divert about $225,000 in funds from a dormant political campaign to an associate's personal use, prosecutors said. That money, they charge, was then funneled through various business entities and disguised as pay for a "no-show job," prosecutors allege.
From February 2022 to September 2024, federal prosecutors allege Williamson conspired with a business associate to create false and backdated contracts.
Williamson went on to make false statements when questioned by FBI agents about the diversion of campaign funds and allegations of public corruption, prosecutors said.
Williamson was Newsom's chief of staff from late 2022 through late 2024.
Prosecutors are also unsealing charging documents for two other people charged by information in connection with the case, the U.S. Attorney's office stated.
