The New Scandal Of The Trumps

Donald Trump Jr. published through his Twitter account a chain of emails that he exchanged before having a meeting that he thought was going to be with a lawyer from the Government of Russia.

The action of President Donald Trump's son is very similar to his father's strategy during his tenure; use social networks to broadcast direct messages and, in a way, skip the step of having the press as an intermediary.

The emails - about which the New York Times first reported this weekend - reveal that the president's eldest son agreed to meet last summer with a person he believed to be a lawyer for the Russian government, after receiving an email from a publicist serving as an intermediary offering him "very high-level and confidential information" that could incriminate then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Also, one of the emails reviewed this morning by The New York Times - and published by Donald Trump Jr. shortly on the social network - expose that the advertiser Rob Goldstone said he had information that was part of Russia and the support of his government to Donald Trump”.

From the exchange between the two it appears that Goldstone offers to coordinate a meeting with a "lawyer of the Government of Russia" and Trump Jr. admits that if it is what Goldstone exposes he would be happy to meet.

However, Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who participated in the aforementioned meeting, denied in an exclusive interview with NBC News that she had acted on behalf of the Russian government. In fact, Trump Jr. assured that during the meeting information about Hillary Clinton was not aired and that she published the emails for the sake of transparency.

The revelations obviously become part of the ammunition of those seeking concrete information, proving that members of the Trump campaign and his family were allegedly willing to receive support from Russia during the presidential campaign.

Trump Jr.'s lawyer has insisted that his client has done nothing wrong, but has left the door open to work with entities that are investigating whether there was a plot by Russia to interfere in the past presidential election.
