Qatar wants the White House. This is per a 2019 deposition by international businessman Alan Bender, who had consulted to the Qatari royal family. See attached and below:
- Donald Trump: Referred to by Qatari officials as “the orange man.”
- Jared Kushner: Referred to as “the descendant of pigs and apes.”
- “(Qataris) We recruited both, Republicans and Democrats – but that’s not good enough. We want to rule the White House.’”
-“(Qataris) And as long as he’s (Trump) in the White House, we have to do what he wants until we control the White House.”
-“They have a lot of next steps. But their main goal is to control the White House; and bring in more Sisters in the Senate; and control more reporters; recruit more politicians.”
Qatar allegedly uses the following financial, legal, and operational methods to influence American politicians, government officials, and media figures.
- Direct cash payments and diplomatic pouches
- High-value casino chips
- Luxury gifts and personal benefits
- Cash transfers below declaration thresholds
- Circumvention of customs regulations
- Shell companies and fraudulent contracts
- Offshore and third-country financial transfers
- Contracts awarded to relatives
- Real estate and corporate transactions
- Think tanks and educational grants
- Recurring monthly retainers to politicians, journalists, and other public figures
- Covert audio and video recordings
- Blackmail and coercive leverage
Additional information:
- Alleged Threat by Jared Kushner: Bender said that Qatari officials claimed Kushner personally threatened them to obtain money to help pay debts associated with his 666 Fifth Avenue real estate deal. The Qatari officials told Bender that Kushner gave them the following warning:
“Choose one of two. You pay what I tell you to pay, or I unleash my dogs.”
- According to Bender, the Qatari officials understood this phrase to refer to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
In fact, the Qatar blockade followed Kushner’s reported discussions with Saudi and Emirati leaders, and Qatar-linked funding later helped resolve the Kushner family’s 666 Fifth Avenue financial crisis.
The blockade was formally ended on January 5, 2021, when Gulf leaders signed the Al-Ula Declaration.
Note: These are allegations, not independently established findings. Each claim should be verified separately, particularly allegations of bribery, criminal conduct, and blackmail. The deposition has been disclaimed, but never disproven.
