DID YOU KNOW: Trump was initially uninterested in hiring Manafort because of his association with "dirty trickster" Roger Stone.

Imagine how different things would be if Tom Barrack hadn't "leaned hard" on Trump to hire Manafort.

"DADDY, TOM SAYS WE SHOULD GET PAUL"

Trump kept dismissing the idea of hiring manafort for the campaign because of his association with Stone, so Tom Barrack pushed harder – this time, through Ivanka.

Ivanka forwarded an email pushing for Manafort's hire.

Tom Barrack's persistence worked:

Leaked messages from Manafort's daughter show Trump finally called Manafort to lead the effort to get delegates ahead of the Republican National Convention. Within weeks, he was promoted to campaign manager.

FLASH FORWARD:
After the election, Barrack was made the Chairman of the Presidential Inaugural Committee and played a major role in soliciting donations.

The Chairman's Global Dinner invited over a hundred foreign diplomats and ambassadors.

Barrack's guest to the 2017 inauguration is his co-defendant in his current #FARA case: Rashid Al Malik of the United Arab Emirates.

We'll be diving deeper into Barrack's ties to UAE and Saudi Arabia soon, including in the next episode of #7DaysInJanuary.
