It was also reported that it was attended by the head of the presidential campaigns by Paul Manafort trump and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the President. The paper argues that Veselnitskaya has a “connection with the Kremlin.” Trump Jr. told the NYT that the meeting, which was held in the Trump Tower skyscraper in new York, Veselnitskaya was unable to confirm she had the presence of dirt on Clinton.
Later, the lawyer denied accusations that it helped the Kremlin to influence the results of presidential elections in the United States. She stated that she has no ties to the Kremlin. Veselnitskaya also said that she doesn’t have dirt on Clinton “never had the intention to possess such information.”
