A close ally and former campaign adviser to former President Trump was arrested Tuesday and charged with several criminal counts over allegedly working as an undisclosed foreign lobbyist on behalf of the United Arab Emirates.
Federal prosecutors said Thomas Barrack, a wealthy private equity investor who also served as the chairman of Trump's inaugural committee, worked to influence his 2016 campaign, and later the administration, to push for policy proposals that were favorable to the UAE.
I remember Trump trading hotel deals for defense agreements. Then remembered this is same typical shit that has happened many time before. Mostly repubs doing oil deals with the Saudis.
