The @nytimes reported today that Donald Trump may have illegally financed his 2016 campaign with a secret loan that potentially exceeded legal limits. The report is the latest in a Times series examining Trump's tax returns. Thread below. (1/8)

Snip
Khawaja couldnt believe his luck: For me it was like, Fuckin hallelujah! Jackpot! It turned out that the sheikh was involved in running Abu Dhabis intelligence services. But the half billion never arrived, none of it, and the mall project died. Instead, Nader said he wanted to buy Khawajas payment engine, the technology for taking credit card payments over the internet. Khawaja agreed.
Khawaja says that in September 2016, Nader told him why he needed the payment engine. Abu Dhabi wanted help making online micropayments in bulk to the Trump campaign and the RNC. He describes Nader asking for help to make it work: How can we generate electronic payouts to the online donation websites? I would like you to show us how we would be able to do that.
Khawaja wasnt taking notes or recording these conversations. These are his recollections of what Nader said, and we have only his word. He remembers Nader explaining why they wanted to fund the Trump campaign. According to Khawaja, Nader said: Ive been meeting with the Trump campaign people we have a deal with Trump: my boss, His Highness, made a deal that if we help Trump get elected, hes going to be harsh on Iran, hes going to take out the nuclear deal that the Obama administration made. That will cripple the Iranian economy and will sanction Iran from selling oil again. It will make it very difficult for them to compete in the oil market. Thats worth a hundred billion dollars to us. Thats the reason we cannot allow Hillary to win at any cost. She must lose.
Khawaja says he asked: But you really think hes going to win? I mean, this is crazy. And he says that Nader replied: His Highness is not stupid, he will never bet on a losing horse. The money would come from the Saudis. The Emiratis would run the operation, using data bought from the Chinese. Khawaja says that Nader told him: We have all the data already, we have 10 million US consumers data. And we have endless money. The Russians were on board too: He said, Yes, I have met with Putin already and we have a green light from him. Because Putin is on the same page with us. He wants Hillary to lose.
