Topic: Tom Barrack

ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross produces a segment labeling billionaire Tom Barrack a "slumlord" due to eviction policies at Starwood Waypoint. The hosts deconstruct the piece, noting that Barrack had actually sold his interest in the company six months prior. They characterize the report as a "sleazy hit piece" designed to attack Donald Trump through guilt by association with his wealthy friends.

New York Magazine profiles an investment vehicle led by Tom Barrack and Rob Lowe that "bails out" distressed celebrities by acquiring their future earnings and assets.
