Mueller Witness Indicted for Child Pornography

July 19, 2019 at 12:27 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

George Nader, a wealthy Lebanese-American businessman who was a witness in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, “has been indicted on charges of importing child pornography and traveling with a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity,” Politico reports.

“Prosecutors filed a criminal complaint against Nader over the images in April 2018, but kept the charges under seal and never told his attorneys about them even as he continued to cooperate with Mueller’s probe.”
