Washington (CNN)Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, a Qatari investor referenced in a series of tweets from Michael Avenatti this week, confirmed to CNN through a spokesperson on
Tuesday that he did attend meetings at Trump Tower in December 2016.
The stated reason: face time with Trump transition officials.
"Mr. Al-Rumaihi was at Trump Tower on December 12, 2016. He was there in his then role as head of Qatar Investments, an internal division of QIA, to accompany the
Qatari delegation that was meeting with Trump transition officials on that date," said a spokesperson for Sport Trinity, a company that Al-Rumaihi co-owns. "He did not
participate in any meetings with Michael Flynn, and his involvement in the meetings on that date was limited."
The spokesperson did not elaborate on which Trump transition officials attended those meetings or the substance of the meetings.
