Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who had a meeting with Donald Trump junior at the Trump Tower in June 2016 with the promise of compromising material on Hillary Clinton, is linked to the Kremlin more than was known until now, according to New York Times.
Moreover, in an interview with the NBC, Veselnitskaya herself recognizes that she is not only a lawyer but a source of information for a senior Kremlin official, the attorney general: "I am a lawyer and I am an informant," he said.
Meanwhile, the final report of the US House Intelligence Commission, which marks the closing of the Russiagate inquiry conference, states that no evidence has emerged that Trump's campaign has "colluded, coordinated or conspired with the Russian government ". The document, however, criticizes intelligence, pointing out some "significant shortcomings" and also points the finger at the Trump campaign and that of Hillary Clinton for "lack of judgment and ill-considered actions".
Criticism from the Democrats: hurry to close
The conclusions of the report are criticized by the committee's democratic members, who accused the Republicans of having prematurely closed the investigation and failed to conduct it with the necessary rigor to protect President Donald Trump. The full report, subject to severe censorship by intelligence agencies, was published on the Chamber's website. It also includes recommendations on how to enhance cyber security and protect electoral processes.
