Washington: The Embassy of Qatar in the United States firmly rejected allegations on Tuesday that American political consultant Alex Bruesewitz received around USD500,000 from individuals linked to Qatar. /p
The statement came in response to a civil lawsuit filed by Derek Utley, a former business partner of Bruesewitz, in Florida the previous day. Utley claimed that Bruesewitz received approximately $500,000 from sources associated with Qatar. /p
The Embassy's response was clear: "This claim is false." They emphasized that Bruesewitz received no funds from the State of Qatar or under its direction. /p
Further, the Embassy pointed out that no evidence was presented to back up Utley's claim, criticizing The New York Times for not seeking comments from Qatar's representatives before publishing the report. /p
Additionally, the Embassy instructed Utley's legal team to rectify what they termed as a misrepresentation in the court proceedings.
