WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Sekulow’s comment came one day after Trump Jr. published emails confirming New York Times reports that a British publicist, Rob Golstone, set up a meeting between him and Natalia Veselnitskaya in June 2016.
"The meeting that took place, [there] was nothing illegal about it, there was not a violation of the law," Sekulow said in an interview with the "CBS This Morning" television program.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Veselnitskaya does not represent the Russian government, and Veselnitskaya told NBC News on Tuesday that she never had any ties to the Kremlin or compromising information on Clinton.
After the release of emails, US President Trump called his son a "high-quality person."
Over the weekend, The New York Times reported that Donald Trump Jr. had held an unreported meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. The Russian lawyer has claimed that the 30-minute meeting focused on the Magnitsky Act and the issue of Russian adoptions by US citizens. On Sunday, Trump Jr. issued a statement, in which he said it had become clear during the meeting that Veselnitskaya had no meaningful information on the Democratic National Committee’s links with Russia-connected individuals.
In a different part of the article, The New York Times states that three people claimed email of Robert Glodstone, a music publicist representing Russian pop star Emin Agalarov, indicated the Russian government as the source of the information offered to Donald Trump Jr.
