UPDATE: On Monday afternoon, Goldstone issued this
statement: “I was asked by my client in Moscow—Emin Agalarov—to help
facilitate a meeting between a Russian attorney (Natalia Veselnitzkaya)
and Donald Trump Jr. The lawyer had apparently stated she had some
information regarding illegal campaign contributions to the DNC which
she believed Mr. Trump Jr. might find important. I reached out to Donald
Trump Jr. and he agreed to squeeze us into a very tight meeting
schedule. At the meeting, the Russian attorney presented a few very
general remarks regarding campaign funding and then quickly turned the
topic to that of the Magnitzky Act and the banned US adoption of Russian
children—at which point the meeting was halted by Don Jr. and we left.
Nothing came of that meeting and there was no follow up between the
parties.”
The rest @ Mother Jones
