C6 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2019 LATIMES.COM/BUSINESS

son-in-law Jared Kushner,
the report provided a first-
hand account of his efforts
at private diplomacy.
The exchanges show the
Lebanese American deal-
maker trying to buy the nu-
clear reactor maker Wes-
tinghouse using Saudi and
Emirati capital, while secur-
ing enough U.S. ownership
to bypass scrutiny from offi-
cial bodies. It was allegedly
described as part of an
American effort to help
Saudi Arabia “leapfrog Iran”
and become a “leader” in nu-
clear power. Barrack co-
operated with the investiga-
tion but took issue with its
conclusions, according to
people familiar with his
thinking, adding that he be-
lieves it conflates his propos-
al for a “Middle East Mar-
shall Plan” with a later,
aborted attempt to buy the
nuclear company.

Middle Eastern di- plomats sometimes strug- gled to think up enough re- quests for Barrack. “Thanks to you, I’m in consistent contact with Jared,” gushed Yousef Otaiba when Bar- rack offered to set up meet- ings and asked for a “hit list”

of administration figures. Eventually the United Arab Emirates ambassador, whose wife owns a fashion brand, suggested a meeting with First Lady Melania Trump’s stylist. “This may be way out of your lane,” he wrote, “but it’s the only thing I can think of.” Born in California in 1947, Barrack was the grandson of Lebanese Christians fleeing Ottoman atrocities who set off for Brazil but ended up disembarking at New York’s Ellis Island. He attended Catholic school in down- town Los Angeles. (“It was either that or juvenile deten- tion center,” he has said, “and Loyola High School was cheaper.”) At nearby USC, where he played rugby and earned a bachelor’s de- gree before studying law, he was already paying into the karma bank. “If you ever needed the shirt off some-

body’s back, Tom would be the first person to give it to you,” says a person who knew him then. As a young lawyer, he was dispatched to Saudi Arabia to handle contracts for the construction group Fluor. He ended up playing squash with Saudi royalty, a connection that later proved useful when a client was trying to obtain permission to build an oil refinery in Haiti. The transaction hinged on access to Saudi crude, so Bar- rack took the Texan oilman and two Saudi princes to meet the island’s dictator, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier. They closed the deal, although not before Duvalier had laid claim to a diamond-encrusted watch one of the royals was wear- ing. Back home, Barrack was appointed to the Interior Department during the

Reagan administration after loaning $70,000 to the buyer of a house belonging to Edwin M. Meese, then a White House official. (An in- dependent counsel found no evidence that Meese knew of the loan.) Later, he worked for Texas billionaire Robert Bass, where he was a con- temporary of TPG founder David Bonderman, and han- dled the 1988 sale of New York’s Plaza Hotel to Trump. He struck out on his own in the 1990s recession, foun- ding Colony to snap up real estate at rock-bottom prices. But later deals soured, and earlier this year the Financial Times pre- sented data suggesting that investors lost about 3.7 cents for every dollar they invested in 18 private equity funds that Colony raised between 1991 and 2015. (Colony dis- putes the data, methodolo-

gy and conclusion that investors lost money.) The father of six intro- duced Trump at the Repub- lican National Convention and chaired his inaugura- tion committee. But he failed to win appointment as a Middle East envoy, despite lobbying foreign leaders to intervene with Kushner. Still, his philosophy maintains that karma is a force that takes time. “The negative connotation is that a Lebanese will give you their shirt, give you their wallet ... and ultimately will probably end up with yours,” he once explained. “But this is the art of life.”
