Federal prosecutors plan to call former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as a witness in the New York trial of Thomas Barrack, a billionaire friend of former President Donald Trump.
Federal prosecutors plan to call former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as a witness in the New York trial of Thomas Barrack, a billionaire friend of former President Donald Trump accused of unlawfully lobbying on behalf of the United Arab Emirates, Barrack's attorneys said Saturday in a letter to the judge presiding over the trial.
Attorneys for Barrack indicated in their letter to Judge Brian Cogan that Tillerson, who is also a former CEO for Exxon Mobil, is being called earlier than the government had planned due to a scheduling conflict. A spokesperson for the Eastern District of New York U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn did not reply to a request for comment.
During the first two weeks, jurors heard from members of law enforcement, such as a digital forensics analyst, and an expert on Gulf region monarchies. In recent days, they were read text messages and emails between Barrack and Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner — Trump's son-in-law and a former White House senior adviser — as well as Paul Manafort, former chair of the 2016 Trump campaign.
