WASHINGTON (AP) — A prominent Russian-American lobbyist and former Soviet military officer attended a meeting with President Donald Trump’s son, son-in-law and campaign chairman last year, the lobbyist said Friday, adding a new wrinkle to the Trump team’s evolving explanations about the June 2016 session.

Rinat Akhmetshin confirmed his involvement to The Associated Press in an interview. He had not been previously identified as a participant in the meeting at Trump Tower in New York, which was billed as part of a Russian government effort to help the Republican’s White House campaign.

Drip, drip, drip. Which version of the Russian meeting story is this now?

I had read that that lobbyist claimed the Russian lawyer left a folder full of documents when she left.  Which Trump, Jr then took with him.

(Which, of course, he didn't mention.  Nor did he mention the emails, until the NYT cornered him on it.  I'd read that the NYT was ready to publish the email, which Trump, Jr then learned about.  Which forced him to release it, else be actually caught in a full-blown lie.)

Where was this pigging meeting, Madison Square Garden?

   There is speculation, through unconfirmed sources at CNN, there was more people in this meeting than at his Inauguration.
