- 7 years ago
Natalia Veselnitskaya is the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. in June 2016. Her name has not officially been linked to the Kremlin or any pro-Kremlin party or organization. Vladimir Putin's spokesperson Dimitry Peskov said the Kremlin has never even heard her name before. Veselnitskaya rose to power when she defended Denis Kastyv, a Russian businesses man who was accused of money laundering in the U.S. The case was resolved in New York in May for $6 million, only days before it was set to go to trial.
