Last week’s legal filing involving Lowell came from a lawsuit by former top GOP money man and Donald Trump confidant Elliott Broidy, who sued the government of Qatar in 2018 for an alleged hacking and smear campaign against him in 2017 and 2018. …

Lowell was representing a businessman allegedly working in the US for Qatar in 2018, and allegedly drafted documents in which a witness appears to have lied to help get Lowell’s client diplomatic immunity protection, Broidy’s lawsuit claims.

Lowell also allegedly offered the witness, American political consultant to Qatar Joey Allaham, over $1.5million to defy a court order and conceal documents pertaining to the hacking plot, according to Broidy’s filing.

[Interesting, worth watching, but don’t draw any conclusions just yet. Lowell is one of the biggest-name attorneys around the Beltway, and he didn’t achieve that by being stupid. And this would be very, very stupid. — Ed]
