Trump ally wants details of wealth excluded from foreign agent trial

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tom Barrack, a former private equity executive and fundraiser for Donald Trump, wants evidence of his wealth, spending and lifestyle excluded from his upcoming trial on charges he acted as an illegal foreign agent, his lawyers said on Tuesday.

Prosecutors have charged Barrack, 75, with using his influence between 2016 and 2018 to advance United Arab Emirates foreign policy goals without notifying the U.S. attorney general of his involvement as required by law.

Barrack, who supported Trump's successful 2016 White House run and directed his inaugural committee, has pleaded not guilty and faces a Sept. 19 trial in Brooklyn federal court.

In a court filing, Barrack's lawyers accused prosecutors of seeking to introduce evidence that would improperly appeal to jurors' "class bias" against wealthy people.
