rying to please two crown princes from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The princes are seeking to adjust U.S. foreign policy and also to punish Qatar. They consider Qatar to be an archrival in the Gulf.

Negotiating Plan

Broidy colluded with his Lebanese-American business partner, George Nader, to get closer to the princes and to act as a backchannel to the White House. They used to pass the princes’ messages and praises directly to the President.

In December 2017, Broidy was supposed to be awarded for his work.

According to the media’s investigation on hundreds of leaked emails between Nader and Broidy, the two were expecting to make huge contracts with the UAE and Saudi Arabia. In return, the American government was supposed to push policies against Qatar.

Lawyer Defending Broidy

Chris Clark is Broidy’s lawyer. He stated that what the media reported is based on fabricated and fraudulent documents. They supposedly obtained the documents from sources that want to harm Broidy. He added that Nader is a citizen of the United States and that there is no evidence showing his involvement.
