US: Trump ally charged with illegally lobbying for UAE - AA

Tom Barrack, a close ally and advisor to former President Donald Trump, was charged on Tuesday with illegally lobbying the ex-commander-in-chief on behalf of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Barrack, 74, was arrested Tuesday and is scheduled to be arraigned in a court in the state of California later. He is one of three men who are being charged with acting as unregistered foreign agents.

A seven-count indictment charges the men with unlawfully attempting to advance the UAE's interests at the direction of senior Emirati officials by influencing the foreign policy positions of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequently continuing to do so after he won that year's White House race, according to the Justice Department.
