Tom Barrack, a longtime Trump adviser, pleaded not guilty today to charges that he secretly acted as an agent for the United Arab Emirates
NEW YORK — Tom Barrack, a longtime adviser to former President Donald Trump, pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges that he secretly acted as an agent for the United Arab Emirates.
Barrack, 74, is charged with failing to register as a foreign agent, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and four counts of making false statements to the FBI. Judge Sanket Bulsara, a magistrate judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, agreed to release Barrack on the $250 million bail package, an unusually large sum because prosecutors deemed him a flight risk.
The Trump adviser’s bond was secured by four properties, $5 million cash and shares he owns in an investment firm. His son and former wife and a business associate, Jonathan Grunzweig, agreed to pledge their homes to secure his release as well. A third defendant, UAE businessperson Rashid Al-Malik, is charged in the case, but he left the country in 2019 after being questioned by the FBI.
