A four-page memo that has been a central focus of the Trump Tower meeting last June between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian attorney has finally been released. Foreign Policy magazine published the document, which Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya took into the June 9, 2016 meeting, which was arranged by Trump Jr. and attended by Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The document, and the meeting, have become a focus for congressional and federal investigators looking into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. The meeting has raised questions about collusion because Trump Jr. accepted it after an acquaintance contacted him promising that a “Russian government attorney” would provide damaging information about Hillary Clinton. “If it’s what you say I love it,” Trump Jr. said when offered the Clinton dirt. Veselnitskaya’s memo, which Foreign Policy obtained from a Russian news station that recently interviewed the lawyer, suggests that little information about Clinton was provided to the Trump campaign. One reference is made of Clinton in the memo regarding campaign contributions from the Ziff Brothers, a group of investors who Veselnitskaya claims were in cahoots with William Browder, a London-based financier who lobbied heavily for passage of the Magnitsky Act. “It cannot be ruled out that they financed Hillary Clinton campaign,” the memo reads.
