However, Khawaja himself has mentioned in an interview with media that an attempt is being made to deal with him because he has information that is compromising US President Donald Trump, as reported by the Lithuanian news portal 15min.lt. A. Khawaja, a Lebanese and US citizen, was detained in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on the evening of September 3. Ramunas Matonis, a representative of the Lithuanian Police Department said: The businessman has an apartment in the capital of Lithuania, as well as manage some real estate within the country. If you type Khawaya’s last name into a search engine, you’ll see a businessman shaking hands with Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and even the Pope himself.
The accusations
The U.S. Department of Justice, which issued the international arrest warrant for the billionaire, alleges in his charges that he illegally transferred $3.5 million dollars for Hilary Clinton’s election campaign. The indictment against the businessman states: Khawaja himself told the Lithuanian courts that his case was political and came into light only when US President Trump began his re-election campaign. In an interview with Spectator in early 2020, Khawaja said he was aware of tens of millions of dollars being illegally transferred to Trump’s election campaign from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It is said these countries in the Middle East have invested in the election of Trump in 2016 in exchange for a tough stance on Iran. George Nader, a businessman imprisoned for a decade for raping children, told him about the scheme this summer. According to Khawaja himself, this information is the reason why the United States has initiated criminal proceedings against him. Featured image: Andy Khawaja (screen capture: Larry King)
