Trump adviser Tom Barrack arrested on foreign-agent charges
Tom Barrack, a longtime supporter of and adviser to former President Donald Trump, was arrested Tuesday on charges he secretly acted in the U.S. as an agent for the United Arab Emirates.
Barrack, 74, is accused of failing to register as a foreign agent, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and four counts of making false statements to the FBI.
A federal indictment issued by a grand jury in Brooklyn, N.Y., charged that Barrack put pro-UAE language into a Trump campaign speech in May 2016, took direction from UAE officials about what to say in media appearances and an op-ed piece he published just before the 2016 election, and agreed to promote a candidate for ambassador to UAE backed by UAE officials.
Prosecutors say Barrack used his insider access to White House officials that he gained through roles like his position as chair of Trump’s inaugural committee to give the UAE “non-public information about the views and reactions of senior U.S. government officials following a White House meeting between senior U.S. officials and senior UAE officials.”
Prosecutors allege that early in the Trump administration, Barrack sought to be appointed to a high-profile role in Middle East policy, while telling his allies in UAE that such an appointment would be good for them.
"In his communications with Al Malik, the defendant framed his efforts to obtain an official position within the Administration as one that would enable him to further advance the interests of the UAE, rather than the interests of the United States," prosecutors wrote in a court filing.

political persecution in a “communist” trait.

No criminal activity has been proven, and no evidence has emerged that Mr Biden did anything to intentionally benefit his son.

@vivify saidI knew a law partner who did a crime, spent 6 months in jail. It happens. Trump knew associates like that as well. Sonhouse prob knew a few, too.
Hey conservatives: if Trump is not a criminal, why is everyone around him a criminal?
Y'all ramble on. But, tell me, why is Trump not doing time? It is all so confusing, I know, esp in the lib world.
You could whine.."Yeah, but Trump Hired this guy". I dont know if he hand -picked him or not, but I can only say life ain't perfect. YOUR problem, libs, is that you you can only envision Nirvana, and will accept nothing less. What does that tell us? That you will forever be tormented. I think I will go play some softball with my kids.
