Trump confidante Thomas Barrack to take stand in his own defense
CBSN
Defense attorneys for billionaire Thomas Barrack said Friday they plan to call him as a witness in his own defense as Barrack's trial for allegedly acting as an unregistered foreign agent nears its conclusion.
Judge Brian Cogan indicated Friday afternoon that the decision to call Barrack was a surprise "at midnight," leading him to call the jury in on a day they were expecting to have off.
Randall Jackson, an attorney for Barrack, said other potential witnesses were no longer needed, and Barrack would be the next-to-last one called by his defense.
