The lawsuit is filed against the state of Qatar and one of the country’s Washington-based lobbyists, Nick Muzin, of Stonington Strategies."
The report cites the lawsuit as saying: "This is a case about a hostile intelligence operation undertaken by a foreign nation" against American citizens "who have spoken out against that country’s support for terrorism and who have entered into significant business relationships relating to defense and counterterrorism with a rival nation."
Legal representatives for Broidy, a prominent Republican fundraiser and philanthropist, had earlier informed Qatari leaders that they had uncovered forensic evidence tying the Qatari government to a massive hack on Broidy that led to a series of damaging stories in the US press.
"We now possess irrefutable forensic evidence tying Qatar to this unlawful attack on, and espionage directed against, a prominent US citizen within the territory of the United States," Lee Wolosky, a lawyer from the legal team Boies Schiller Flexner, wrote to Qatari Al Thani family’s member Sheikh Meshal bin Hamad Al Thani.
