United States Presidential Election
"This is especially important to Americans during a Presidential election year, and the laws on the books were created to protect our nation from such untoward influence."Prosecutors asserted that Barrack, through Alshahhi, maintained regular contact with "the senior leadership of the UAE government." "On multiple occasions, Barrack referred to Alshahhi as the UAE’s 'secret weapon' to advance its foreign policy agenda in the United States," prosecutors said.In May 2016, according to federal authorities, Barrack inserted language in a Trump campaign speech on U.S. energy policy praising the UAE and "emailed an advance draft of the speech to Alshahhi for delivery to senior UAE officials.""Following the 2016 United States Presidential Election, the defendants repeatedly acted at the direction of UAE officials to influence the foreign policy positions of the incoming administration in favor of UAE interests," prosecutors charged.
