President Ronald Reagan walks with CIA Director William Casey, May 24, 1984, in McLean, Virginia, as he arrives at the agency to attend a groundbreaking ceremony for a new building.
Tom Barrack is the most recent member of Trumpâs 2016 presidential campaign team to have been indicted for, essentially, being willing to sell out the interests of his country in exchange for payments from a foreign nation (in this case, the United Arab Emirates). He is free on $250 million bail. That makes nine campaign muck-a-mucks whoâve been indicted. (The total doesnât include Michael Cohen and Allen Weisselberg, whose transgressions occurred while on the payroll of Trumpâs company, rather than his campaign.)
