What was not publicly known until recently was that he also pleaded guilty to an illegal foreign donation scheme. The Department of Justice revealed in a December sentencing memo that Nader had pleaded guilty to a single count on July 22, 2020. The court filing says Nader and Ahmad "Andy" Khawaja, a Los Angeles-based chief executive of Allied Wallet, "orchestrated a scheme to funnel over $3.5 million in foreign funds into the 2016 presidential election." The DOJ added that they "did so to gain direct access to unsuspecting high-level political figures to further their professional endeavors: in the defendant’s case, out of a desire to lobby on behalf and advance the interests of his client, the government of the United Arab Emirates; in Khawaja’s case, in the hopes of securing political appointment in the future." Nader was indicted in December 2019 for what prosecutors said was his role in a scheme to conceal large sums of illegal campaign contributions to help Clinton in 2016. He was accused of conspiring with Khawaja to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions to political committees associated with Clinton.
