Before and after Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya met with Donald Trump Jr. at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, she had also met with a co-founder of Fusion GPS—the opposition research firm hired by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to manufacture the Trump-Russia conspiracy.
Hours before her meeting with Trump Jr., Veselnitskaya met with Fusion co-founder Glenn Simpson in a Manhattan federal courtroom, and met again after her meeting with Trump Jr., according to Fox News on Nov. 7, which cited a confidential source. Fox News also reported that it reviewed court records that corroborate their meeting.
