And now, his best friend\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom Barrack<\/strong>\u00a0has been friends with Trump for over 30 years, with many insiders calling him the <em>Celebrity <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>rentice<\/em> star\u2019s closest confidant and adviser. And on Tuesday he became the latest Trumpworld resident to be arrested on some VERY serious charges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Trump Was TERRIFIED What Jeffrey Epstein Pal Ghislaine Maxwell Had To Say??<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While he never had an official place in the White House, Barrack\u00a0served as the chair of Trump\u2019s inaugural committee \u2014 which is facing its own legal entanglements as feds continue to investigate where the eff the $100 million dollars they raised for it went.<\/p>\n<p>But this is something else entirely \u2014 maybe something far more serious.<\/p>\n<p>The 74-year-old billionaire was indicted on seven counts \u2014 <em>failing to register as a foreign agent<\/em>, <em>conspiracy<\/em>, <em>obstruction of justice<\/em>, and four counts of <em>making false statements to the FBI<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the charges are about the cover-up of the initial crime, but that foreign agent thing? That essentially means he was acting as a spy for another country. Yes, for real!<\/p>\n<p>What is all this about?? Well, remember the investigation into whether Trump was taking marching orders from Russia in exchange for financial gain? That still hasn\u2019t been disproven, despite how many times the ex-president says so IN ALL CAPS. But this is an actual arrest in relation to doing something very similar with another country: the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Leaked Kremlin Documents Appears To Confirm The Trump Pee Tape Is REAL!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to prosecutors, Barrack and two others are accused of \u201cacting and conspiring to act as agents of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018.\u201d Acting Assistant Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> <strong>Mark Lesko<\/strong> said in a statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe defendants repeatedly capitalized on Barrack\u2019s friendships and access to a candidate who was eventually elected President, high-ranking campaign and government officials, and the American <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> to advance the policy goals of a foreign government without disclosing their true allegiances.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They claim it began with Barrack, using his position as a close adviser, inserting some pro-UAE language into Trump\u2019s May 2016 campaign speech \u2014 and he did so on behalf of Emirati officials. A foreign country got to put words in Trump\u2019s mouth. Let that sink in.<\/p>\n<p>That relationship continued, they say, as Barrack lobbied on behalf of the UAE to influence the policies of Trump\u2019s presidential administration AND leaked \u201cnon-public information\u201d to his Arab allies.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re talking about a foreign country getting fed inside info AND dictating US policy \u2014 that\u2019s practically treason! And it\u2019s not just us being hyperbolic here; the Department of Justice sees it that way, too. Lesko said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe conduct alleged is nothing short of a betrayal of officials in the United States, including the former President.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Unless he knew about it that is. We mean\u2026 it can\u2019t just be a\u00a0<em>coincidence<\/em> that multiple countries got word from Trump\u2019s friends that his policy was up for sale, right? Everyone AROUND Trump was crooked and just using the poor old patriot? Not buying it.<\/p>\n<p>Innerestingly it was reported way back in 2018 that the UAE, like Russia, offered the Trump campaign help winning the election in the form of a social media blitz \u2014 the same way we already know for a fact Russia did. Per\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>, they even met with\u00a0<strong>Donald Trump Jr.<\/strong> about it. It certainly makes sense\u00a0<em>now<\/em> if they knew one side had an agent working for them that they would want that side to win. And if the Trump campaign\u00a0<em>accepted<\/em> that offer, that makes this yet another case of potential collusion with a foreign power. Oof.<\/p>\n<p>Will any of this actually ever touch Trump himself? Well, Lesko did continue with something of a warning, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThrough this indictment we are putting everyone \u2014 regardless of wealth or perceived political power \u2014 on notice that the Department of Justice will enforce the prohibition of this sort of undisclosed foreign influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Except Teflon Don. So far anyway.<\/p>\n<p>One thing the government hasn\u2019t really explained is\u00a0<em>why<\/em>. Barrack is the founder of a huge private equity firm called Colony Capital and a real titan. He is a <em>real<\/em> billionaire. Why would he do this?<\/p>\n<p>Why do billionaires do anything? To make\u00a0<em>more<\/em> money. According to the\u00a0<em>NYT<\/em>, in the three years following Trump becoming the Republican nominee, Colony Capital got $1.5 BILLION in investments from the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Huh.<\/p>\n<p>So far Trump hasn\u2019t commented on the charges. It\u2019s days like these we\u2019re just glad the adults took away his\u00a0<strong>Twitter<\/strong> account.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Image via MEGA\/WENN.]<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
