Natalia Veselnitskaya was a Russian agent under surveillance, had been denied a visa to enter the US but entered anyway using a parole letter granted to allow her to enter to defend a legal client. ......... How much does the FBI know?The Kremlin says it has no connection with Veselnitskaya. This claim has to be treated sceptically. Moscow typically subcontracts “influence operations” to oligarchs and third parties for reasons of deniability. It used WikiLeaks to distribute its DNC hack. As a high-profile Kremlin lobbyist Veselnitskaya is likely to have been under US surveillance. The US had previously denied her a visa. Certainly, the FBI appears to be in possession of the email sent by Goldstone setting up the meeting. Three people who have read it briefed the New York Times this week. Trump has accused GCHQ of spying on him at the behest of the Obama administration. The claim is untrue. The reason Trump’s associates may have been bugged is because they were meeting with known or suspected Russian intelligence operatives. The Russians were the targets. [ Trump team surveiled while meeting with Russian agents? Boo hoo. Is espionage a Constitutional right? ] What don’t we know?Trump Jr has given different accounts of the meeting. At first he said its subject was the adoption of Russian children. Then, when confronted with more evidence, he admitted that he had been promised compromising information on Clinton. What the Kremlin wanted from the meeting is unclear. By this point, it was sitting on a heap of Democratic party emails that had been hacked or not released. We don’t know precisely what Veselnitskaya offered. Nor do we know how Trump Jr and Manafort responded. What other Russian connections are there?Lots. Before joining Trump’s campaign Manafort spent over a decade working in the former Soviet Union. His previous client was Viktor Yanukovych, the ex-president of Ukraine who fled to Russia in 2014. The FBI is investigating Manafort’s dealings with Russian oligarchs and his unusual cash purchases of New York real estate. He denies wrongdoing. .......... theguardian.com
