Epstein hosted Qatari foreign minister and attorney‑friend Reid Weingarten, linking U.S. political‑legal circles to Qatar amid World Cup bribery concerns
Epstein hosted Qatari foreign minister and attorney‑friend Reid Weingarten, linking U.S. political‑legal circles to Qatar amid World Cup bribery concerns The passage suggests a convergence of high‑profile actors – Jeffrey Epstein, Qatar’s foreign minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim, and Reid Weingarten (a lawyer tied to Eric Holder and major corporate defendants) – discussing financing of ‘bad guys’ and potential influence over the World Cup bid. While the details are anecdotal and lack hard evidence (no dates, transactions, or documented meetings), the combination of a foreign minister, a U.S. attorney‑general confidant, and a convicted financier creates a strong investigative lead on possible foreign influence, bribery, or illicit financial flows. The novelty is moderate (newly surfaced anecdote) and the controversy high, but the lack of concrete documentation keeps the score just below the blockbuster threshold. Key insights: Epstein met with Qatar’s foreign minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim in a private dinner setting.; Reid Weingarten, a lawyer for high‑profile corporate defendants and close to former AG Eric Holder, attended the breakfast the next morning.; Conversation allegedly touched on Qatar’s financing of extremist groups and the potential impact on the 2022 World Cup bid.
