Former business partner accuses MAGA media guru Alex Bruesewitz of receiving lavish gifts from foreign individuals in Qatar and Syria, while pursuing lucrative deals with other entities seeking to unlock access to U.S. government officials.
The allegations were made in a court file Monday by Derek Utley who co-founded digital company X Strategies in 2017 with Bruesewitz. Bruesewitz is one of the president’s top outside advisers Donald Trump having helped shape his 2024 campaign’s digital strategy, and X Strategies manages the Trump War Room and Team Trump accounts on X.
The company continued Utley in September alleging that he embezzled and stole millions of dollars from the company.
In Monday’s filing responding to that lawsuit, Utley calls it a “marketing ploy disguised as a federal lawsuit” and denies allegations that he embezzled the company’s money or used its funds for gambling. The filing includes a countersuit against X Strategies that claims Utley was fired from the company without cause because of a requested medical leave. (The company the initial lawsuit had asserted Utley submitted “false medical records” to “fraudulently” obtain six months of paid leave, then was fired.)
