Former Trump inaugural committee chairman Thomas Barrack on Monday took the witness stand to discuss his ties to the ruling families of various Middle Eastern countries, while maintaining that he never agreed to act as an unregistered agent of the United Arab Emirates.
Barrack, 75, the founder and former CEO of the real estate investment firm Colony Capital, which later rebranded as DigitalBridge, has been charged with illegally acting on behalf of the UAE during the Trump campaign and the beginning of former President Donald Trump’s term in the White House, along with obstruction of justice and making false statements.
