Trump ally: ‘Dozens’ of my associates sought help on pardons
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — A trusted friend of Donald Trump who’s facing federal foreign influence charges testified Thursday in Brooklyn federal court that “dozens” of people asked him for help in getting pardons from the former president.
Tom Barrack also told a jury at a trial in New York City that he never sought a pardon for himself, even after he learned he was under investigation for allegedly acting as a secret foreign agent for the United Arab Emirates.
Asked why, Barrack responded, “I never did anything wrong.”
