WASHINGTON — 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

I suppose it's too much to ask for names?
This happened during the transition? Sounds like more rumor mongering.
I think Mueller has lost it.
“It is illegal for foreign entities to contribute to campaigns or for Americans to knowingly accept foreign... “
Unless you are Hilary Clinton
FYI: from 2012 NYT.
Note the last name on the list

Thank God China and Russia and Australia didn’t funnel any money to the Clintons over the years....
OH WAIT!
Is the Special Counsel in COLLUSION with the Emirates to destroy Trump’s presidency?
But nobody gives a shit about fortunes of money donated to Clinton Foundation.
Seriously???
Russia! Russia! UAE?
thanks for posting that list.
appoint a Special Prosecutor and start prosecuting:
EVERYONE in the Obama Admin/Clinton campaign/DOJ/FBI etc who COLLUDED to try to stop Donald Trump becoming President of the United States by MANUFACTURING a fake Trump/Russia narrative.
Fusion GPS/Steele/many in the MSM should all be on that list.
easy to know which MSM colluded; one, check Podesta emails, check who investigated attempt to stop Trump, check who has reported on all that has been revealed in the past year by the likes of John Solomon, Sara Carter, etc etc.
Russia colluded with the Trump campaign in January 2017 to interfere in the November 2016 election. Don’t you understand how it works? LOL.
Bingo. Another case of selective prosecution.
This is the first time I have seen Robert Mueller with a III after his name. I don’t remember if I saw his middle initial but it is coming. His name will get
longer and longer as his investigation takes longer and longer.
If his middle name is Wayne we’re really screwed.
i meant to include John Brennan amongst those who need to be prosecuted for conspiring to stop Donald Trump from becoming President.
there is no Trump/Russia collusion story. ignore it. there is only a conspiracy to stop Trump becoming President, and to delegitimize his presidency once he won.
