Former President Donald Trump's "divisive" politics ruined his billionaire friend’s business, real estate financier Tom Barrack said at his criminal trial in New York City on Monday.
Barrack's case presents a rare sight: an unbelievably wealthy baron facing the real threat of prison time. He's accused of putting the nation's security at risk by misusing his position of influence and power with the Trump administrationIn this behemoth trial that started last month, federal prosecutors are trying to prove that Barrack abused the access he got to the incoming president by using it to secretly lobby on behalf of Arab royals.
The trial is also timely, as the Justice Department portrays Saudis as reluctant friends on the global stage just as the Biden administration vows that the country will suffer “consequences” after its leaders snubbed the U.S. president’s request to keep the price of oil down—and instead sided with Russia by voting to reduce output from the 13 countries that make up the oil cartel known as OPEC.
Barrack testified that Trump's racist Muslim ban and nonstop political scandals made it harder for the investment firm Colony Capital to keep alive its business relationships with Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.When asked how Trump affected his professional life, Barrack began to point the finger at the former president for his current legal woes.
Yeah, but you got involved with Trump because you THOUGHT it would be good for business. I guess you f**ked around and found out differently!
The wheels on the bus are completely off the ground at this point…. Pass the popcorn please.
“ Barrack quietly tweaked the GOP platform at the 2016 Republican National Convention—making sure to avoid any mention of the Saudi royal family’s connection to the 9/11 hijackers.” And then newly elected trump raced to Saudi Arabia to sell them weapons that they can use on us.
Seems someone, somewhere, wrote a book about this phenomena 🤔 👇🏻 ETTD TheRickWilson
I couldn’t careless. When he was reaping the benefits as Trump’s friend not a thought was given to the divisive politics. Take your medicine.
Yea and everyone around Trump goes to jail and he’s still out and about holding rallies and spewing his lies. Go figure!!!
He deserves it.
How sad, LOL
Typical Daily Beast leftist biased spin. It wasn't Donald Trump who is 'divisive', it is all the Democrats and their leftist supporters who desire to 'cancel' Trump, the Republicans and anyone associated with them.
He’s lying; all part of his defense that he didn’t profit from fatty’s administration.
Barrack knew what Trump’s politics were before working for him. He needs to stop playing the victim.
Not sorry.
Wait, I thought he was only out for making billionaires richer. Which is it?
