The representative of the Kremlin noted that the scandal surrounding the correspondence of Donald trump Jr. with a Russian lawyer “just another round of” this story, which can be compared with the most successful TV show. “But don’t you need some way to draw us into this series, we are in such serials are playing,” said Sands.

He also stressed that contacts the son of an American President with a lawyer from Russia speaking after a meeting of leaders of the two countries, Vladimir Putin and Donald trump, held on the sidelines of the summit of “Big twenty” on 7 July.

Earlier Wednesday, Peskov said that the correspondence trump, Jr. about the possibility of obtaining dirt on Hillary Clinton and his meeting with the lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya has nothing to do with Moscow. He stressed that to call her a representative of Russia is absurd.

The first meeting between Putin and trump on the sidelines of the G20 lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. The New York Times later wrote that the discussion on the alleged interference of Moscow in the electoral process took 40 minutes, and conversation “at times strained”.
