A California businessman who once advised President Donald Trump has been acquitted of unlawfully acting as an agent of the United Arab Emirates.
He chaired - and raised $107m for - the Republican's inaugural celebration following the 2016 election.As the verdict was read out, Mr Barrack bowed his head then hugged his lawyers, as family members wiped away tears in court. But Mr Barrack, an Arabic speaker of Lebanese descent, maintained he was "his own man" and had never agreed to act under UAE "direction of control".
