A key witness who provided grand jury testimony to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on June 3 on federal child pornography charges.
Lebanese-American businessman George Nader, 60, was ordered by Magistrate Judge Cheryl Pollak to be held, after a federal prosecutor argued he was a danger to the community and a flight risk. Nader had faced charges of transporting child pornography in 2018, but they weren’t made public until after his recent arrest, according to the Department of Justice.
