Donald Trump’s inaugural committee chair, Tom Barrack, was acquitted of all counts Friday at a federal trial in which he was accused of using his personal access to the former president to secretly promote the interests of the United Arab Emirates.
Tom Barrack leaves Brooklyn Federal Court, Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, in the Brooklyn borough of New York. Barrack, a Donald Trump ally, was acquitted at a federal trial where he was accused of using his personal access to the former Republican president to secretly promote the interests of the United Arab Emirates..
Barrack, a 75-year-old California billionaire, is an old friend of Trump and chaired the Republican’s inaugural committee. He was among a long line of Trump associates to face various criminal charges. In 2019, lawyer Greg Craig, a Democrat, was acquitted of making a false statement to the Justice Department about work he did for the Ukraine’s government.
At the same time, he leveraged his back-channel connections to get the UAE to funnel tens of millions of dollars into an office building he was developing and into one of his investment funds, Harris added. “He was involved in the campaign because he’s loyal to his friends — maybe to a fault,” the lawyer said.
