The Clown Prince's Client Wants Trump to Risk American Lives in an Iran War Escalation - emptywheel
"Broidy reportedly passed 'messages to the president from the two princes' relaying their interest in working together. When Trump announced his support for the U.A.E.- and Saudi-led blockade of Qatar, Broidy and Nader were reportedly ecstatic."
"Kushner had reportedly developed a close relationship with M.B.S. when he took a last-minute trip to Riyadh in October, during which the two men apparently 'stayed up until nearly 4 A.M. several nights, swapping stories and planning strategy.'"
"Nader, who was convicted in 2003 on 10 counts of sexually abusing minors, wrote to Broidy about the princes' true opinion of Kushner, stating, 'You have to hear in private my Brother what Principals think of 'Clown prince's' efforts and his plan!'"
In 2018, Emirati and Saudi princes sought to influence U.S. policy by flattering Trump and Kushner while privately criticizing Kushner. Broidy was tasked with conveying their interests to Trump, leading to support for a blockade against Qatar. The princes were pleased with Trump's leadership and offered assistance with a Middle East peace plan. Kushner developed a close relationship with M.B.S., sharing strategies and intelligence. Nader, who had a criminal past, communicated the princes' true opinions of Kushner, calling him a 'total moron.'
