Qatari Royal Invests $50 Million in Newsmax Amid Trump Administration

Investment aimed to soften Newsmax's coverage of Qatar, amidst legal and political controversies.

A Qatari royal reportedly invested approximately $50 million in Newsmax during the Trump administration, seeking to influence its coverage of Qatar.
Newsmax, known for promoting pro-Trump narratives, faced criticism for its coverage of vaccines and election fraud claims.
The investment came as Qatar faced a diplomatic blockade and sought to improve its image in the U.S.
Documents suggest the investment was intended to benefit the state of Qatar, despite denials from involved parties.
Newsmax is currently facing a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over election fraud claims.
