Jury selection is set to begin in the trial of Tom Barrack, the private equity executive and onetime fundraiser for former President Trump, on charges he acted as a foreign agent without notifying the U.S. government.

U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan will question dozens of potential jurors to assess whether they might be biased against Barrack because of his ties to Trump, among other conflicts that could prevent them from serving.

After hundreds of potential jurors filled out questionnaires, Cogan wrote on Sept. 2 that candidates who expressed “merely some dislike” of Trump could still serve. The trial is expected to focus on allegations that UAE officials gave Barrack input about what to say in television interviews, what then-candidate Trump should say in a 2016 energy policy speech, and who should be appointed ambassador to Abu Dhabi.

Prosecutors have said Barrack, Grimes and Al Malik never told the U.S. attorney general they were acting as UAE agents as required under federal law. Barrack’s lawyers have said the U.S. State Department, and Trump himself, knew of his contacts with Middle East officials, showing that Barrack did not intend to be a foreign agent.
