An adviser to the United Arab Emirates with ties to current and former aides to President Trump is cooperating with the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and gave testimony last week to a grand jury, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Mueller appears to be examining the influence of foreign money on Mr. Trump’s political activities and has asked witnesses about the possibility that the adviser, George Nader, funneled money from the Emirates to the president’s political efforts. It is illegal for foreign entities to contribute to campaigns or for Americans to knowingly accept foreign money for political races.
Mr. Nader, a Lebanese-American businessman who advises Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the effective ruler of the Emirates, also attended a January 2017 meeting in the Seychelles that Mr. Mueller’s investigators have examined. The meeting, convened by the crown prince, brought together a Russian investor close to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia with Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater and an informal adviser to Mr. Trump’s team during the presidential transition, according to three people familiar with the meeting.
Mr. Nader’s cooperation in the special counsel’s investigation could prompt new legal risks for the Trump administration, and Mr. Nader’s presence at the Seychelles meeting appears to connect him to the primary focus of Mr. Mueller’s investigation: examining Russian interference during the 2016 presidential campaign.
So to be clear Donald Trump is losing support staff in the White House on an almost hourly basis, while almost everybody who may have helped get him there in the first place seems to be cooperating with an investigation that may see him led away in handcuffs.
You know there is not enough popcorn on the planet to keep us fed through all of this.
I am thinking of switching to Chex Mix.

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if Sergei Skripal was one of Christopher Steele's sources.
Could Putin be tying up loose ends and covering his tracks?

I wonder how Giuliani has managed to stay under the radar in the Mueller investigation. He was on all the programs spouting crap during the campaign, he must know a lot.
DeleteHope this guy has enough info to put Eric Prince into prison for many years.
ReplyDeleteRemember if you are tired from giving grand jury testimony and need an energy pick me up, just buy some TeamiTea using discount code Bristol.
Then you, too, can commode comment at all hours just like donnie dotard because that's where you'll be!
DeleteHey Russian People if you can hear us? Don't elect the rigger putin. Fight for your right to Democracy and freedoms.
ReplyDeletePeople try to say that Assad produced the Sarin gas that he used to kill women and children and men but I highly doubt that. I believe that Putin is behind the Assad regime. Now, it looks like the Kremlin is going all poker face because one of their ex spy and his daughter were found almost dead in England from nerve gas. That has Putin written all over it.
ReplyDeleteIt's like we know who the serial killer is but we can't catch him because he is so covert. The end of times, I tell ya'.
Little donnie may want Mueller to lock him up. A
DeleteAt least putin can't get to him in prison, well maybe he can, but who cares.
If memory serves, during the campaign Drumpf actively called for contributions from foreign governments until he was told it was illegal.
ReplyDeleteAnd I bet he played "stupid" oh I am not a politician how would I know you can't do that. And I have some ocean front property in Nevada to sell you.
