Emails show the man who set up a meeting between the Trump campaign and a Russian lawyer reportedly contacted a Trump staffer afterward
Rob Goldstone, a key player in the scrutinized Trump Tower meeting, reportedly sent follow-up emails to a Trump official and other Russians who attended.
Five days after the Trump Tower meeting, Goldstone also sent an email with an article on Russia's hack of the Democratic National Committee in Spring 2016 to Emin Agalarov, one of his clients; and Ike Kaveladze, a Russian who attended the meeting, according to CNN. In his email, Goldstone called the news of the DNC hack "eerily weird" because of their discussion at the meeting.
The DNC hack raised eyebrows because when Goldstone initally pitched the meeting to Trump Jr., Goldstone had suggested that Natalia Veselnitskaya — the Kremlin-linked lawyer who attended the Trump Tower meeting — would offer dirt on Hillary Clinton. That information allegedly never materialized; the parties instead discussed Russian adoptions in the US, according to Trump Jr.
