Everyday more proof of trump's corruption comes to light!
A close ally and former campaign adviser to former President Trump was arrested on Tuesday and charged with several criminal counts over allegedly working as an undisclosed foreign lobbyist on behalf of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Federal prosecutors said Thomas Barrack, who also served as the chairman of Trump's inaugural committee, worked to influence his 2016 campaign, and later the administration, to push for policy proposals that were favorable to the UAE.
"The defendants repeatedly capitalized on Barrack's friendships and access to a candidate who was eventually elected President, high-ranking campaign and government officials, and the American media to advance the policy goals of a foreign government without disclosing their true allegiances," Mark Lesko, the acting head of the Justice Department's national security division, said in a statement.
"The conduct alleged in the indictment is nothing short of a betrayal of those officials in the United States, including the former President," Lesko said. "Through this indictment, we are putting everyone - regardless of their wealth or perceived political power - on notice that the Department of Justice will enforce the prohibition of this sort of undisclosed foreign influence."

in late February 2020 Paul’s wife bought stock valued between $1,000 and $15,000 in Gilead Sciences, which produces remdesivir -- an antiviral used to treat Covid-19.
Just a couple weeks later, the coronavirus swept across the country, forcing the shutdown of offices, businesses and schools. Paul didn’t disclose his wife’s purchase until 16 months after the Senate’s 45-day requirement. His spokeswoman said the form was completed last year but somehow was lost in transmission.
“This is ‘the dog ate my homework’ excuse,” said Meredith McGehee, executive director of Issue One, a group monitoring congressional ethics issues. “In almost every instance, you get a confirmation. Oh, it was my wife, oh, the paperwork didn’t go through. As a public servant, you’re held to a different standard.”
