Key Mueller witness, charged with funneling money to Clinton campaign

A key witness in Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation has been hit with federal charges for allegedly conspiring to funnel more than $3.5 million to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

George Nader, a Lebanese-American lobbyist busted for child pornography earlier this year, and seven others were named in a 53-count indictment unsealed in Washington, DC, federal court Tuesday.

Nader is accused of funneling millions of dollars in contributions through Allied Wallet CEO Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, Khawaja’s wife and Khawaja’s company to Clinton’s campaign between March 2016 and January 2017.

The two men allegedly made the contributions “in an effort to gain influence with high-level political figures,” prosecutors said in a press release.
