Russian lawyer at Trump Tower meeting charged in separate case

Firstpost  

By Nathan Layne and Karen Freifeld - A Russian lawyer who attended a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower under scrutiny in the U.S. By Nathan Layne and Karen Freifeld - A Russian lawyer who attended a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower under scrutiny in the U.S. special counsel’s probe of Russian election meddling was charged in a separate case that U.S. prosecutors said showed evidence of her ties to the Kremlin. In testimony to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in 2017 Veselnitskaya said she spoke at the Trump Tower meeting about the Magnitsky Act, legislation to impose U.S. sanctions on Russia, and her allegations against Bill Browder, a hedge fund manager whom the U.S. regarded as a victim of the Russian money laundering case. On the same day as the Trump Tower meeting, Veselnitskaya attended an appeals court hearing in the Manhattan case, which was a forfeiture action against Cyprus-based real estate company Prevezon Holdings Ltd. U.S. prosecutors accused Prevezon of laundering some of the proceeds of a $230 million Russian tax fraud scheme. “Poor Natalya.” Tuesday’s charging of Veselnitskaya made the June 2016 meeting “seem all the more nefarious,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan.
