Trump Jr. Was Told in Email of Russian Effort to Aid Campaign
WASHINGTON — Before arranging a meeting with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer he believed would offer him compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email
that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.
Donald Trump Jr., who initially told The Times that Ms. Veselnitskaya wanted to talk about the resumption of adoption of Russian children by American families, acknowledged in the Sunday statement
that one subject of the meeting was possibly compromising information about Mrs. Clinton.
In an interview Monday, Mr. Goldstone said he was asked by Mr. Agalarov to set up
the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya.
