Russia lawyer: Trump Jr. suggested sanctions law could be re-examined if Trump won

A Russian lawyer who met with members of President Trump’s campaign said Donald Trump Jr. assured her that if his father won the 2016 election, his administration would look into reversing an anti-Russia law, Bloomberg reported Monday.
Natalia Veselnitskaya said she went to New York City in June 2016 to inform Trump campaign officials that certain Democratic donors had evaded taxes and to lobby against the Magnitsky Act, a U.S. law sanctioning Russia in response to the death of a whistleblower in a Moscow prison.
She recalled Trump Jr. saying, “if we come to power, we can return to this issue and think what to do about it. I understand our side may have messed up, but it'll take a long time to get to the bottom of it," Bloomberg reported.
