The investment firm founded by Tom Barrack, the chairman of President Trump's inaugural committee, sought to use its connections to the Trump administration and foreign powers
to profit, a confidential memo reveals. 

The memo, obtained by ProPublica and WNYC, shows that the company — then called Colony NorthStar — planned to use its connections to capitalize off of Trump's proposed
investments in infrastructure. The revelation comes after Trump's inaugural committee on Monday was reportedly subpoenaed and ordered to turn over documents about its finances.

The memo, which details a "strategic plan" to benefit from the infrastructural proposal, states that Colony could "spearhead an operation" to fulfill Trump's infrastructure plans. 
Barrack, who chaired the committee overseeing Trump's inauguration, is the chairman and CEO of Colony.

A source familiar with the Colony memo told ProPublica that it was written by Richard Gates, a former Trump campaign adviser who pleaded guilty to charges brought by special
counsel Robert Mueller.

The memo outlines plans to open an office in Washington, D.C. It says that the "key is to strategically cultivate domestic and international relations while avoiding any appearance of
lobbying."
