EDNY Courthouse,
Sept 21 – Thomas Barrack and
Matthew Grimes, indicted for
illegal lobbying for the
United Arab Emirates, were
arraigned on July 26, 2021
before U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Sanket
Bulsara. Inner City Press live
tweeted it here
(and podcast here)
On September 21,
2022, Day 1 of the trial,
Inner City Press went to EDNY
in Brooklyn. After
descriptions of Barrack's
meetings with UAE handlers, in
Morocco, Corsica and
elsewhere, counsel for Matthew
Grimes said his client was
just an assistant, getting
coffee and smoothies for his
boss and taking photos of
meeting. Sure, he vacations
with Al Malik Alshahhi. But he
was serving Colony Capital,
his lawyer said.
Next up, as first
witness, was an expert in Middle
East affairs. A map was
proffered as an exhibit, but it
couldn't be seen in the overflow
courtroom. And Inner City Press
couldn't yet live tweet from
there. Watch this site. For now,
this Cadman Plaza vlog, here.
