# George Nader Lebanese-American consultant, adviser to UAE Crown Prince [[Mohammed bin Zayed]], Mueller investigation cooperating witness, and **repeat convicted child sex offender** — the darkest node in the UAE influence network. Nader served as the connective tissue between the UAE, [[Erik Prince]], the Trump transition team, and Russian officials, while maintaining a decades-long pattern of child sexual abuse that multiple governments failed to stop. ## UAE Influence Operations - Principal adviser to MBZ on U.S. policy - Arranged the January 2017 **Seychelles meeting** between [[Erik Prince]], a Russian banker close to Putin ([[Kirill Dmitriev]]), and UAE officials — an apparent effort to create a Trump-[[Russia]] backchannel - Partnered with [[Elliott Broidy]] on the anti-[[Qatar]] lobbying campaign, wiring Broidy $2.5M through a Canadian company - Offered Broidy a UAE intelligence contract worth up to **$600 million** over five years - Mueller investigation cooperating witness — provided testimony about UAE-Russia-Trump connections ## Criminal Record | Date | Offense | Outcome | |------|---------|---------| | **1991** | Transporting child pornography (boys 13-14) | 6 months federal sentence | | **2003** | Sexually abusing 10 boys (Prague) | 1 year Czech prison | | **2020** | Child pornography + transporting a 14-year-old for sex (2000) | 10 years federal sentence | | **2020** | Illegal campaign contributions ($3.5M via straw donors to Clinton campaign) | Concurrent sentence | | **February 2025** | Released from prison | Left the country | Despite two prior convictions for child sex offenses, Nader continued operating as a high-level political fixer with access to world leaders and U.S. presidential advisers. ## The Bipartisan Operation Nader's $3.5M in illegal campaign contributions went to [[Hillary Clinton]]'s campaign — demonstrating that UAE influence operations target both parties simultaneously. The same person who served as MBZ's backchannel to the Trump transition was simultaneously funneling money to the Democratic nominee. ## See Also - [[UAE]] - [[Erik Prince]] - [[Elliott Broidy]] - [[Tom Barrack]]
