Russians at Jr's meeting: dined at repubs' Capitol Hill Club 6/14/16
On June 14, 2016. 5 days after the Jr/Kushner/Russian meeting. The article doesn't say the exact date but it was the night before the repubs were recorded on tape joking about who Putin pays and that was June 15th per another article. It was while the Russians were in DC for the screening of their Russian propaganda film.

The following day, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy was caught on tape telling Republican colleagues: “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” When some of the lawmakers laughed, he replied: “Swear to God.”
