Did Mattis know about/attend the meeting. Did the Russian specialists at the Pentagon know about the meeting?

Did State know about the meeting? Did they attend?
Did the high ranking person at the State Department who resigned this morning know about the meeting in advance? Did he attend?

Was there a money exchange?
