A top fundraiser for President Trump alleged in court filings on Thursday that Qatar worked with a former CIA agent to hack his email and expose efforts to get Trump to back adversarial policies toward Doha.
In an amended complaint filed in federal court in Los Angeles, lawyers for Elliott Broidy accused Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the brother of the emir of Qatar, of directing the U.K. consulting firm Global Risk Advisers to obtain Broidy's emails.
The court filing alleges that the former CIA operative, Kevin Chalker, and his partner at GRA David Mark Powell opened an office in Doha "just weeks prior to the commencement of the" hacks.
"On information and belief, the Qatari Defendants retained and used the GRA Defendants to coordinate and implement the hack, and the GRA Defendants also personally supervised aspects of the information operation against Plaintiffs," the complaint reads.
