Trump Jr. and Other Aides Met With Gulf Emissary Offering Help to Win Election
IMAGE
WASHINGTON — Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor.
[...]
It is unclear whether such a proposal was executed, and the details of who commissioned it remain in dispute. But Donald Trump Jr. responded approvingly, according to a person with knowledge of the meeting, and after those initial offers of help, Mr. Nader was quickly embraced as a close ally by Trump campaign advisers — meeting frequently with Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, and Michael T. Flynn, who became the president’s first national security adviser. At the time, Mr. Nader was also promoting a secret plan to use private contractors to destabilize Iran, the regional nemesis of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates.

This Year Was the Year Mueller Made the Liars Writhe

Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware went on record last May with his belief that Donald Trump Jr. lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee in his testimony when he categorically denied that foreigners had offered or given assistance to the Trump presidential campaign. According to the New York Times, Junior met in August 2016 with George Nader, an emissary from “the princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates [who] were eager to help his father in election as president.” (Nader, it should be noted here, is reportedly cooperating with the special counsel.) Erik Prince, the Blackwater founder who attended the meeting, may have also fudged his involvement in the Trump campaign in congressional testimony.

Get Ready for Mueller’s Phase Two: The Middle East Connection
[...]
In one August 2016 meeting, first reported by The New York Times and later confirmed by The Daily Beast, Nader told the room that the crown princes of both Saudi Arabia and the UAE were eager to help Trump win the election. Also ready to lend his services was Joel Zamel, a self-styled Mark Zuckerberg of the national-security world with deep ties to Israeli intelligence. Zamel had already been in close contact with the Trump team because one of his companies, Psy Group, had drawn up a plan to use social-media manipulation to help Trump clinch the Republican nomination. The company sent former senior campaign aide Rick Gates that proposal.
