Trump Advisor George Nader is a real dozy:

3. Trump hired him as a personal advisor in 2005.
4. In June 2019 charged with transporting and possessing pornographic images of children including some featuring toddler-age boys, baby goats and other farm animals.

He pleaded guilty to sex trafficking. Sentenced to 10 years.
