Jury Selection Begins In Trial Of Former Trump Advisor Tom BarrackNEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump's longtime friend Tom Barrack on Monday denied charges that he illegally lobbied the Trump administration on behalf of the United Arab Emirates and said that supporting Trump for president was"disastrous" for him professionally.
"Could you, as you understand your business, agree to operate as an agent of one investors?" Barrack's attorney, Michael Schachter, asked him. Barrack already had a decades-long relationship with Trump before he began to advise Trump early in his 2016 campaign. But Barrack said that his support of Trump was ultimately"disastrous" for his work, and appeared to at least partly blame his association with the former president for the charges he now faces.
Calling him a"highly respected businessman," Trump said that Barrack"NEVER spoke to me about 'speeches' and what to say on this subject" -- a likely reference to prosecutors' allegation that Barrack inserted language favorable to the UAE into one of Trump's early campaign speeches on energy.
