According to the DOJ, Barry “used his position in the campaign to fraudulently direct the campaign to make payments to him beyond what he was owed for his salary and had the fraudulently obtained funds deposited into his personal bank account.”
When The Hill requested a statement, Barry's law firm, Charity Clark Law said that they are "not prepared to make a statement" but "will likely address the situation."
