Russian lawyer: Trump campaign approached her about getting dirt on Hillary-not the other way around
A Russian lawyer tells NBCâs âTodayâ show that she was summoned to Trump Tower during last yearâs presidential campaign to meet with Donald Trump Jr. and asked if she had information on the Clinton campaign. The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, told NBC she received a phone call from a man she didnât know and was told to meet with the Trump campaign. She says she didnât have information on the Clinton campaign and has never worked for the Russian government.
NBCâs âTodayâ and MSNBC aired an interview of the lawyer on Tuesday. Itâs her first public comment since Donald Trump Jr. acknowledged that he made time for the meeting hoping to get information on Clinton, his fatherâs Democratic presidential opponent.
Veselnitskaya says Jared Kushner, Donald Trumpâs son-in-law, attended the meeting but left after a few minutes. Paul Manafort, then Trumpâs campaign chairman, also attended but never participated and spent much of the meeting on his phone. It wasnât clear from the NBC report who in the meeting asked her for information.
On Clinton, she says through a translator: âItâs quite possible they were looking for information. They wanted it so badly.â
