Emails obtained by Putin opponent Khodorkovsky & shared w/ @RichardEngel exposed Natalia Veselnitskaya as an informant for top Kremlin official, Yuri Chaika. ➞ So, Don Jr, Kushner & Manafort conspired with a Russian govt official for dirt on HRC.

Jul 13, 2017: Trump claimed Veselnitskaya [a Kremlin informant] wasn’t working for the Russian govt in Jun 2016 when she met w/ Don Jr at Trump Tower: “He took a meeting with a Russian lawyer. Not a government lawyer, but a Russian lawyer.” Wrong.

THREAD on Kremlin informant Natalia Veselnitskaya's husband, who worked for the father of Prevezon's Denis Kaysyv. ICYMI, he also worked for Putin ally Yakunin – who Rohrabacher met with in Apr 2016 & promised to lift sanctions.

As an informant, the information Veselnitskaya passed back to the Kremlin was just as important – likely more so – than the info she provided to Don Jr, Jared Kushner & Manafort during the 2016 Trump Tower meeting.
