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.
“Disastrous,” he said, describing how his personal relationship with Trump affected his multi-billion dollar global investment business.
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 administration to cut secret deals with the United Arab Emirates.
