-- George Nader, a witness in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, was indicted for his alleged role in a scheme to make more than $5.3 million in illegal campaign contributions.
“From March 2016 through January 2017, Khawaja conspired with Nader to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions, directed to political committees associated with a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 election,” according to a statement issued by the Justice Department late Tuesday. The money came from Nader, they said.
Nader, a businessman who acts as an adviser to the United Arab Emirates and has ties to that nation’s ruler, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Zayed, as well as Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, was arrested in June on separate child pornography trafficking charges and is currently in custody in an Alexandria, Virginia, jail. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.Jonathan Jeffress, an attorney for Nader, declined to comment on the new charges against his client.
Story continuesProsecutors say Nader and Khawaja intended to use their illicit campaign contributions to gain influence with the unnamed candidate and others during and after the election. Prosecutors, in their statement, said Nader allegedly “reported to an official from a foreign government about his efforts to gain influence.”
