LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Thomas Barrack, a top fundraiser for Donald Trump and ex-chairman of the former president's inaugural committee, resigned from the USC Board of Trustees today, one day after his arrest on charges of unlawfully lobbying for the United Arab Emirates.
“Tom Barrack has voluntarily resigned from the USC Board of Trustees effective immediately,'' according to a statement from the board Wednesday.
Barrack, 74, of Santa Monica, was arrested in the Southland Tuesday in connection with a seven-count federal indictment unsealed in New York. He is expected to appear in court in downtown Los Angeles on Monday.
