George Nader, the mysterious Lebanese-American businessman who attended Trump campaign meetings with foreign officials during the presidential transition—and who is now cooperating with the Mueller probe—is a convicted pedophile, the Associated Press reports. Nader was at meetings between senior Trump aides, including Jared Kushner, with Mohammed bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi. One of the meetings, on the remote Indian Ocean island nation of Seychelles, also included a close associate of Vladimir Putin. It has now been disclosed that Nader was convicted in the Czech Republic for 10 cases of sexually abusing minors. Nader was earlier arrested over child-pornography allegations in Washington, D.C., but the charges were eventually dropped. Nadar has been talking to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators since he was stopped and questioned by the FBI at Dulles Airport in January, on his way to President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property. Sandeep Savla, a lawyer for Nader, said: “This is nothing more than an orchestrated, disgusting scheme by those who are trying to intimidate Mr. Nader into silence. It won’t work. Mr. Nader will continue to answer truthfully questions put to him by the special counsel.”
