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.”

“A key witness in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian election interference has been indicted by federal officials on child pornography charges,” the Washington Post reports.

“George Nader, who had a previous criminal record on such charges, was charged in federal court in Virginia, and is expected to make an initial court appearance in New York.”

“Nader played an unusual role as a kind of liaison between Trump supporters, Middle East leaders, and Russians interested in making contact with the incoming administration in early 2017.”
