George Nader turned up in Iran



The Mueller probe is also investigating how George Nader might have helped the UAE buy political influence in the Trump White House by striking huge business deals with a top Trump fundraiser.    George Nader emerged again in the 2016 election as an adviser to the UAE, with reports showing he worked with Trump fundraiser Broidy on a number of schemes — from trying to secure an anti-Qatar law in Congress to efforts to create an all-Muslim fighting force in Yemen with America’s help.    George Nader has long been a mysterious figure.

Before he turned into the most recent subject of interest identifying with Mueller's test, George Nader ran a magazine on Middle East approach and situated himself as a go-between in Middle East peace transactions. George Nader worked with a private military contractor from the US, Erik Prince, whose former company, Blackwater, became infamous after a shootout in Baghdad in 2007 left 14 civilians dead.    

George Nader went to a December 2016 gathering in New York between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities and president-elect Donald Trump's partners Jared Kushner, Michael Flynn, and Steve Bannon. George Nader also reportedly attended a meeting in January 2017 that Mueller has investigated and that involved Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin.

While there is no indication that George Nader is suspected of wrongdoing, his knowledge of key meetings involving the Emiratis and others could be helpful to the special counsel in understanding the inner workings of the transition and possible efforts to influence key figures in the administration.    According to the Times, Mueller has also asked witnesses about any attempts by the Emirates, through George Nader, to buy political influence by supporting the Trump campaign, suggesting that the special prosecutor is examining the influence of foreign money on the president and his policies. George Nader was not seen as an entertainer.

George Nader turned up in Iran at the home of the pioneer of Iran's Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, where he hung out with individuals from the Afghan mujahideen. The UAE adviser, George Nader, is now a witness in the U.S. George Nader was a very amicable guy. They demonstrate Broidy messaging George Nader with a synopsis of Broidy's discussions with Kushner and Trump in the White House in October 2017, addressing matters including the UAE's unpleasant question with kindred Persian Gulf nation Qatar.   

When he stepped away from the publishing world, George Nader appears to have gone deeper into dealmaking. George Nader kept in touch with his companion that he was anticipating an up and coming trek to the United States. George Nader was conceived in Lebanon and went to the US in his teenagers. George Nader worked alongside Ronald Lauder, a cosmetics heir who has been heavily involved in Jewish philanthropic causes, on George Nader off-the-books effort.

George Nader was brought in, at least in part, because he spoke Arabic and had a relationship with Walid Muallem, at the time the Syrian ambassador to the US who went on to become Syria's foreign minister. George Nader has been described as a shadowy figure who travels extensively throughout the Middle East, reportedly serving as a means for backchannel communications between the US government, Israel and its sworn enemies - Syria, Iran and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah.    

As a young Lebanese immigrant to the US in the 1980s, George Nader quickly established himself as a forceful independent operator, founding a policy magazine called Middle East Insight. George Nader had worked in recent times as an adviser to bin Zayed, one of the most powerful men in the Middle East, according to people who know George Nader. George Nader had also urged Trump to fire then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
