Trump adviser and former inaugural chair Tom Barrack pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of secretly lobbying for the United Arab Emirates. The lobbying came at a time when Barrack was making major business deals with the UAE and other Gulf states. The New York Times reported Barrack’s real estate company received some $1.5 billion in investments from the UAE and Saudi Arabia after Trump’s 2016 nomination. The billionaire investor was released last week on $250 million bond.
