Tom Barrack, a longtime ally of former President Trump, pleaded not guilty to illegal foreign lobbying charges unveiled by the Justice Department last week
Tom Barrack, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump and chairman of the Trump 2016 Inaugural Committee, pleaded not guilty through his attorney on Monday to illegal foreign lobbying charges unveiled by the Justice Department last week.
Barrack entered his plea at a federal courthouse in Brooklyn, New York. He faces charges alleging he failed to register his work for the United Arab Emirates. He's also been charged with obstruction and false statements to the FBI. He was arrested last Tuesday in Los Angeles, and was released on bail on Friday, having put up a massive, $250 million bail package. For Monday's arraignment, he was before the Magistrate Judge Sanket J.
His statement referenced the nearby Statue of Liberty and its promise of"tolerance, liberty and justice" to the"immigrant masses.""My grandparents came here in 1896 and 1900 and from humble and simple beginnings they gave me the gift of all that America has to offer," Barrack said."That statue is made of steel with a patina of copper. We're in the middle of a very heated moment and I can only tell you that the hardest steel is forged from the hottest fire.
