In a stunning revelation, documents obtained by Fox News Digital have exposed Qatar's alleged state-funded espionage campaign aimed at discrediting U.S. lawmakers who oppose Hamas and its parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. The documents indicate that the oil-rich Gulf state hired a company founded by a former CIA agent, Kevin Chalker, to target Senator Ted Cruz and others who advocated for designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Dubbed "Project ENDGAME," the Qatari-funded plan drafted by Chalker's company, Global Risk Advisors (GRA), warned that any attack on Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood would be seen as an attack on Qatar. The documents highlighted Senator Cruz's efforts to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood and urged swift action to counteract Qatar's potential involvement in the matter.

The revelation comes amidst growing scrutiny on Qatar for allegedly harboring Hamas leaders in Doha and financing the group. The recent massacre perpetrated by Hamas, resulting in the deaths of over 1,200 people, including 30 Americans, intensified the criticism towards Qatar.

Reacting to the disclosure, Senator Cruz voiced his concerns about Qatar's influence, stating that the Qatari government spends vast amounts of money supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist organizations. He expressed the need for the U.S. to reevaluate its relationship with Qatar, highlighting the influence Qatar has already exerted over parts of Washington, D.C.

Hamas, which has declared itself as a part of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine, has been designated a terrorist organization by several American allies, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The "Project ENDGAME" proposal aimed to identify Qatar's enemies, emphasizing that it is difficult to combat opponents who operate in the shadows. The existence of this Qatari-sponsored project was brought to light in an AP article titled "FBI probing ex-CIA officer's spying for World Cup host Qatar" in 2022.

According to the documents, Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, a co-sponsor of the bill to sanction the Muslim Brotherhood in 2017, was also marked as an enemy by Global Risk Advisors on behalf of Qatar. Diaz-Balart expressed no surprise at the revelation and reaffirmed his determination to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, highlighting his long-standing concerns about Qatar's activities.

The GRA documents also revealed that Qatar's ruling Al-Thani family, through GRA, aimed to discredit Senator Tom Cotton. Cotton's view that President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt, a secular ruler, is a more reliable American ally than the former Muslim Brotherhood regime could have contributed to Qatar's targeting of the senator.

When approached for comment, a spokesperson for Senator Cotton declined to provide any statement at the time.

Congressman Jack Bergman, known for his knowledge of Qatar's power politics, pledged to hold Qatar accountable and expose their hacking campaigns to silence critics of Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. Bergman expressed concerns about the security of U.S. servicemen and women and classified information at CENTCOM's forward headquarters in Doha, questioning the trustworthiness of Qatar in light of their alleged espionage activities.

Former House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Ed Royce, did not respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital regarding the reported Qatari state-financed espionage operation.

The State Department referred inquiries to the FBI, while the FBI declined to comment on ongoing investigations.

Kevin Carroll, the lawyer representing Kevin Chalker, denied pending indictments against his client and emphasized that civil complaints filed against GRA in 2018 have seen dismissals in California and Washington, D.C.

The revelations regarding the alleged Qatari espionage campaign have raised concerns about the extent of Qatar's influence and the need for heightened scrutiny of its activities.
