Russian lawyer who met with top Trump campaign officials says Mueller hasn't contacted her

Source: Politico



By LOUIS NELSON 04/23/2018 07:15 AM EDT

The Russian lawyer who top Trump campaign officials were told had compromising information on Hillary Clinton ahead of a June 2016 meeting told the Associated Press on Sunday that she is surprised she has not been contacted by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to The Associated Press.

Natalia Veselnitskaya met in Trump Tower in June 2016 with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort to discuss issues related to U.S. sanctions against Russia and the adoption of Russian children by Americans. Trump Jr. had been promised, through an intermediary, that Veselnitskaya had access to damaging information about Clinton sourced from the Russian government.

Told of the information Veselnitskaya had to offer and its provenance, Trump Jr. replied to the intermediary via email that “if it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

The Russian attorney said Mueller’s team, which is investigating Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and allegations that individuals tied to Trump colluded in those efforts, has not contacted her. If it does not, she said, it would be an indication that the special counsel’s office “is not working to discover the truth.”

The Trump kids aren't the brightest. Their email exchanges that are in the public would be incriminating enough on their own if daddy weren't involved.

boo hoo.

Muehler knows how you work. You set out a false narrative can be ultimately disproven, thus delegitimizing the whole investigation.

So he works to find out what the truth is without your lies, and then lets you perjure yourself. He isn't going to take your bait and use it. You don't say anything unless vlad tells you to, and he is still supporting trump.

Here's a used Kleenex. Now go eat something that doesn't have strontium 90 in it. You look pale.

for the last couple of years.

They probably do not need her testimony yet.

Maybe during Don Jr's trial they will call her.

The first time I saw her on tv, with her peasant type dress in that light dirt shade. Must have picked it special from her closet for the American audience. Well, I laughed.

It probably was taped honey.
