>Fmr U.S. Ambassador David M. Friedman Demands Americans be Imprisoned for 'Antisemitism'
Friedman represented Trump in bankruptcies surrounding his Atlantic City casinos and has said they have been friends for 15 years. Trump, in the statement, called him “a long-time friend and trusted advisor to me.”
Involved in a number of philanthropic activities in Israel, Friedman is president of an American group set up to support Beit El, a settlement located east of the Palestinian city of Ramallah. The settlement has also received charitable contributions from the foundation headed by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
