Thomas Barrack, the chairman of Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration committee, has been arrested by federal authorities.
“The charges against Barrack, which apparently are not connected to the inauguration-related fund, are expected to be unsealed soon. Barrack is a longtime friend of Trump’s,” CNBC reported.
The outlet said that a spokesperson for Trump didn’t respond when they were asked to comment on the arrest.
Barrack becomes another in a long line of close Trump insiders that have been arrested on various charges.
