Broidy accuses ex-diplomat of being secret Qatari agent
The Trump fundraiser claims the Persian Gulf state maintains a network of undeclared agents in the U.S.

Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy accused a former high-ranking United Nations diplomat of serving as an undeclared agent of Qatar in a court filing in California this week. In the filing, Broidy also claims that the Persian Gulf state maintains an entire “network” of undisclosed agents operating inside the U.S.
Broidy, a fundraiser for President Donald Trump who is suing Qatar and several individuals over the hacking of his emails last year, cited unspecified evidence turned up during discovery as the basis for those claims.
The allegations come at a time when Washington is grappling with the problem of covert foreign influence in U.S. politics. On Monday, the Justice Department indicted Russian citizen Mariia Butina on charges of acting as an unregistered agent of Vladimir Putin’s government. In recent months, special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly expanded the scope of his probe beyond Russia to examine the influence of energy-rich Persian Gulf state in the U.S.
Former United Nations Under Secretary-General Jamal Benomar, the alleged agent named in the filing, did not respond to requests for comment.
Benomar, a U.K. citizen, was born in Morocco, where he was arrested and tortured for his opposition to the country’s government. He went on to work for 25 years at the U.N., where he served as a special envoy for Yemen and a special adviser to former Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
