According to The Daily Beast, Thomas Barrack, a billionaire private equity investor who chaired former president Donald Trump's inaugural committee, altered the official GOP platform for the 2016 Republican National Convention in an effort to minimize connections between the Saudi Royal Family and the 9/11 hijackers.
The Department of Justice updated its indictment against Barrack, who was arrested and charged with illegal lobbying, obstruction of justice, and lying to the FBI, to reveal the extent of his role at the party's convention.
After his arrest last year, Barrack was released on a $250 million bond.
An email was sent to Barrack to alter the Republican messaging at the convention, according to the revised indictment.
We need to discuss the language of the national political party platform at the national convention. The individual said that the platform language should be based on what you hear from your friends.
The September 11 Commission report that detailed Saudi ties to the hijackers, but did not mention the Saudi Royal Family, was the reason why Trump sought to reveal roughly 28 pages of information.
The report states that Barrack sent the email to the man who was indicted by the Justice Department for relaying information to the United Arab Emirates.
Barrack said in a message that it was very confidential but he could share it with HH.
The email was sent to an official in the United Arab Emirates.
Brian McGlinchey, an independent journalist based in San Antonio who has sought the disclosure of the missing 9/11 documents, told The Daily Beast that the messages reflected hypocrisy from those in the Trump circle.
The hypocrisy of the Trump camp is underscored by the fact that there was an active presidential campaign going on.
