Tom Barrack, chair of former President Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee, pleads not guilty and says he is “100% innocent” of charges that he secretly lobbied the US on behalf of the United Arab Emirates.

At the time, the UAE was in a tense diplomatic conflict with Qatar. Prosecutors said that, among other things, Barrack provided Emirati government officials with information about how senior U.S. officials viewed the dispute. A group of countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain, launched a blockade against Qatar in mid-2017.

Federal authorities say Barrack broke the law by failing to disclose his UAE ties to the U.S. government. Barrack is charged with conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements during a June 2019 interview with federal agents.
