Tom Barrack, an investor and longtime Trump ally, was arrested on charges that he acted as a foreign agent of the U.A.E. and lied to federal investigators
Tom Barrack, the real-estate investor and a longtime ally of former President Trump, was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles on charges that he acted as a foreign agent of the United Arab Emirates and lied to federal investigators.
A seven-count indictment filed by the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn, N.Y., alleges that Mr. Barrack, along with a former employee and an Emirati businessman, acted at the direction of senior Emirati officials to influence Mr. Trump’s policy positions and to influence public opinion in favor of U.A.E. interests.
Mr. Barrack, 74 years old, was also charged with obstruction of justice and making false statements during a June 2019 interview with federal law-enforcement agents. Mr. Barrack stepped down earlier this year from his role as executive chairman of Colony Capital Inc., the investment firm he founded in 1991. Last month, Colony rebranded as DigitalBridge.
