George Nader, l'homme mystérieux , collabore avec Robert Mueller

L'expert du Moyen-Orient George Nader a participé à des rencontres secrètes de l'équipe de Donald Trump pendant la période de transition. Il est considéré comme un facilitateur dans les relations entre l'entourage de Trump et les Émirats arabes unis. L'intérêt de Robert Mueller envers Nader démontre ;a quel point l'enquête du procureur spécial ratisse large. La nouvelle obtenue d'abord par CNN se retrouve actuelle dans les manchettes de plusieurs grandes publications.

 "Since the 1980s, Nader has made a habit of ingratiating himself with administrations in Washington by volunteering to open lines of communication with elusive Middle Eastern leaders. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Nader was the president and editor of a magazine called Middle East Insight. While many in his field assumed his role as a magazine editor helped him create inroads with prominent leaders abroad, they still had little insight into how he'd built such an unusual rolodex.

"He had stunningly authentic contacts," said Aaron David Miller, the director of the Middle East Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Nader had prominent ties in Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Iran and, for the most part, was able to move freely within those countries, according to people who have worked with him.

"He had tremendous contacts in the Middle East in places that normal people -- at least back then, and to this day -- don't go," said Miller, a former adviser to six secretaries of state who encountered Nader frequently over the years."
