Laura Loomer reported, citing a White House source, that the State Department provided the White House with a document describing what it termed Ambassador Tom Barrack's 'greatest sins' over the past two years. The source said Barrack's friendship with President Donald Trump protects him from dismissal. According to the report, Barrack is accused of legitimizing Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda figure, causing Kurdish forces to abandon the US-led coalition against Iran, and promoting Turkish interests at Israel's expense.
A report by conservative commentator Laura Loomer, citing an anonymous White House source, alleges that the U.S. State Department has compiled a dossier on Ambassador Tom Barrack — the Trump administration's special envoy for the Middle East and U.S. ambassador to Turkey — detailing what it describes as his "greatest sins" over the past two years. The source reportedly told Loomer that Barrack's close personal friendship with President Trump is currently shielding him from termination.
The accusations against Barrack are wide-ranging. He is alleged to have legitimized Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda operative who led the rebellion against Bashar al-Assad, and to have pressured Kurdish-led forces to abandon the U.S. military camp in northeastern Syria, thereby undermining the campaign against Iranian-backed militias. The report further claims Barrack has advanced Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's regional agenda at the expense of Israeli security interests.
The allegations unfold against the backdrop of Barrack's recent diplomatic activity. As The Zioneer reported on August 24, Barrack sparked controversy when he described Israel's control of the Golan Heights as an "occupation" — a remark he later walked back, reaffirming the 2019 Trump policy recognizing Israeli sovereignty there. The dossier described in the new report reportedly includes that incident among others.
The claims remain single-sourced and unverified. Barrack's office has not issued a public response. The White House declined to comment on internal personnel matters.
