A key witness in special counsel Robert Mueller's
Russia-Trump campaign collusion probe, on Friday
received a 10-year prison sentence on child sex charges.
The witness, George Nader, who also acted as an
adviser for President Trump's White House transition
team following the 2016 election, was handed the
sentence by Judge Leonie Brinkema at the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Nader, who has already served a year in prison,
admitted to bringing a 14-year-old boy from the
Czech Republic to the United States in 2000 for
sex trafficking. As part of the sentence, he is also
ordered to pay that victim $150,000.
His lawyers, who lobbied for the 10-year term rather
than a longer stay in prison, expressed "a real fear
that [Nader] will not outlive the sentence" due to
health problems as well as the ongoing
coronavirus pandemic.
Nader in court said he was "dearly, deeply sorry" for the crimes.
