Thomas Barrack & two other defendants are accused of acting and conspiring to act as agents of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018.

Officials also alleged that Barrack lied to FBI agents in 2019 during an interview about his dealings with the UAE. washingtonpost.com/politics/thoma…
Background: Investigators are looking into “whether Mr. al-Malik was part of an illegal influence scheme,” although no details of that potential scheme have been made public.

Barrack coordinated the language in a draft of Trump Energy speech with Persian Gulf contacts including Rashid al-Malik, an Emirati businessman who is close to the rulers of the United Arab Emirates.

Investigators have looked in particular at whether Mr. Barrack or others violated the law requiring people who try to influence American policy or opinion at the direction of foreign governments or entities to disclose their activities to the DOJ.

Close ally of MBS and MBZ, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, was also proud to announce progress on his Rosatom-built power plant in El Dabaa.

Mr. Kushner’s plans in the Balkans appear to have come about in part through relationships built while Mr. Trump was in office. Mr. Kushner, who was a senior White House official, said he had been working on the deals with dirty trickster and Trump sycophant Richard Grenell.
These first two projects both involve land now controlled by the governments of Albania and Serbia, meaning a deal would have to be finalized with these foreign governments.

nytimes.com/2024/03/15/us/…
Reminder, Richard Grenell was involved in influencing the elections in Kosovo during the Trump administration.

All news outlets who pushed the Burisma smear campaign against Hunter & Joe Biden are guilty of aiding & abetting Putin & his Russian Intel Services disinfo & owe a huge apology not only to the Biden’s, but to the American people. @CBSPolitics @ABCPolitics @CNN @NBCNews @ABC
Putin’s goal is to elect Trump who will destroy NATO & hand the keys to Ukraine and the European continent to him.

That has always been the original quid pro quo dating back to 2016. Trump has even confirmed this goal.

politico.com/newsletters/na…
Afghanistan-focused officials were kept out of the loop by senior Trump aides. That ultimately put personnel at risk, endangered a fragile diplomatic effort and left a new administration in the dark about their inheritance, they said in previously unreported comments.
The Trump administration struck a deal with the Taliban in February 2020 that set the conditions for a U.S. withdrawal by May 2021.
