Zhao writes: "Nader, who acted as a link between President Donald Trump's team and Middle East and Russia officials in 2016 and 2017, was stopped with a search warrant on a matter 'unrelated to child pornography,' according to prosecutors."
Mueller subpoenaed Nader last January as part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election after the businessman helped organize a meeting in Seychelles between Trump associates, Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian banker linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin in January 2017. Following the subpoena, Nader testified to a grand jury and was interviewed multiple times about his dealings with Trump's team and his supporters.
The redacted 448-page Muller report, released in April, references Nader in over 40 footnotes. His recount of the January 2017 meeting contradicted Prince's assertions that the incident was a chance encounter that was not organized with anyone from Trump's transition team, according to CNN.
