Al Jazeera spends more than $500,000 defending itself against attacks
The Qatari broadcaster is under attack from Doha’s Gulf rivals.
Al Jazeera spent more than $500,000 over just three months defending itself against allegations that it is a foreign agent of the Qatari government, lobbying records reviewed by Al-Monitor show.
The Doha-based media company paid multinational law firm DLA Piper a whopping $540,000 in the third quarter of 2019 to lobby Congress, up $500,000 from the previous quarter. DLA Piper subcontractor CLS Strategies in turn got $60,000 over the same period.
