She used to work at a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm that received $115,000 a month from Qatar to fight human trafficking, according to a 2019 contract[1] reviewed by The Free Press. > She’s not the only one in the administration with ties to the Persian Gulf state. > President Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, led lobbying firm[2] Mercury Public Affairs when it represented Qatar’s embassy in Washington.[3] FBI Director Kash Patel worked as a consultant for Qatar,[4] though he didn’t register as a foreign agent. > And then there is Steve Witkoff, president Trump’s longtime friend and senior adviser, who is accompanying him on his trip this week.

Witkoff also happens to be a beneficiary of Qatar’s largesse: In 2023, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund bought out his faltering investment in New York’s Park Lane Hotel for $623 million.[5]
