Alex Bruesewitz (29), a close advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump responsible for the digital accounts of his political operation, is at the center of a lawsuit filed by his former business partner, Derek Atley. According to the claims filed in a federal court in Florida, Bruesewitz received approximately half a million dollars from Qatar-linked entities and enjoyed a honeymoon in the Maldives funded by Syrian billionaires, in a suite costing about $15,000 per night. Bruesewitz, whom Trump called "the most powerful man I know," vehemently denies all allegations. His attorney called them false and defamatory. The Qatari embassy in Washington also issued an official denial. The article notes that Bruesewitz visited Qatar twice in the past year and that he is engaged in a highly publicized internal war within the Trump camp, including an admission that he paid a right-wing activist for tweets.
