George Nader, who worked to advance Saudi Arabia's agenda to the Trump administration and who later provided grand jury testimony to special counsel Mueller, has been arrested on charges of transporting a dozen images of child pornography and bestiality.
Nader's name shows up more than 100 times in Mueller's recently released report. The report describes efforts by Kirill Dmitriev, a Russian banker close to President Vladimir Putin, to have Nader serve as a conduit between him and members of Trump's transition team.
According to the Mueller report, Dmitriev expressed disappointment to Nader about the Seychelles meeting because he did not consider Prince to be an influential member of the Trump team. An affidavit filed in support of the child porn charges against Nader says investigators found 12 separate videos after his phones were seized in January 2018 at Dulles International Airport in Virginia in connection with a search warrant, after he arrived on a flight from Dubai.
