Exclusive: Russian Lawyer That Met Donald Trump Jr. Linked To Kremlin | The Last Word | MSNBC
In a striking report from MSNBC's Richard Engel, new revelations about the infamous Trump Tower meeting surfaced, drawing the connection between Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and the Kremlin. This meeting, which took place on June 6, 2016, involved key Trump campaign figures, including Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner, along with several Russian associates.
Emails obtained by NBC News indicate that Veselnitskaya has had close ties with Russian government officials, specifically the country's prosecutor general, since at least 2014. This contradicts her previous assertions of operating independently of any government. During an exchange with Engel, Veselnitskaya was questioned about her relationship with the Russian state, revealing a complex narrative that has raised suspicions regarding her involvement in the Trump campaign's dealings.
Further complicating the narrative, the House Intelligence Committee released a redacted report indicating no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia—much to the approval of President Trump, who celebrated the findings as a vindication. However, Democratic members of the committee pointed out numerous lines of inquiry that were not investigated, suggesting a politically motivated bias in the report's conclusions.
The dialogue throughout the segment shed light on potential communications leading up to the Trump Tower meeting, including interactions between Trump Jr. and a blocked number, which could imply that President Trump himself was involved or informed about the meeting's logistics.
Experts featured in the report, including Michael Isikoff and Natasha Bertrand, emphasized the significance of these revelations. They discussed the broader implications of Veselnitskaya's connections to Russian intelligence and the possible repercussions for U.S.-Russia relations amid ongoing scrutiny of the Trump campaign's past contacts with Russia.
In conclusion, this episode continues to illustrate the intricate and controversial interplays of politics, law, and international relations surrounding the Trump administration, raising more questions than answers about the nature of political engagement and foreign influence.
