A Donald Trump loyalist has been acquitted at a federal trial in which he was accused of using his access to the former president to secretly promote the interests of the United Arab Emirates
Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Harris told jurors that Barrack schemed to become the"eyes, ears and the voice" for the Emirates as part of a criminal conspiracy to manipulate Trump's foreign policy.
The prosecutor pointed to what he characterized as a steady steam of shady texts and other communications that showed that Barrack was under the direction and control of Rashid al Malik, a businessperson from the UAE who acted as a conduit to the rulers the oil-rich Persian Gulf state. “He was involved in the campaign because he’s loyal to his friends — maybe to a fault,” the lawyer said.that"dozens" of people asked him for help in getting pardons from the former president. He also said he never sought a pardon for himself, even after he learned he was under investigation.
