GOP Congressman Met in Moscow With Kremlin-Linked Lawyer at Center of Russia Investigation
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher met with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya during a 2016 trip to Moscow, a previously undisclosed tête-à-tête that sheds additional light on the extent to which Moscow-based political operatives sought to influence American officials in the run-up to last years presidential election.
In an interview with a pro-Russian Crimean news service, Veselnitskaya said she met with Rohrabacher a California Republican and arguably the most prominent advocate in Congress for closer relations between Washington and Moscow in April 2016 to discuss issues surrounding the Magnitsky Act, the punitive American sanctions measure responding to Russian human rights abuses that she has lobbied against.
We just asked to listen to us, just to listen to the alternative version, Veselnitskaya said in the interview, seated in a futuristic-looking wingback chair set against a light purple background. She attacked the sanctions measures proponents and told Rohrabacher that American lawmakers had been duped.
Do not let yourself be used by scammers, she recalled saying.
Kenneth Grubbs, a spokesman for Rohrabacher, said he believed Veselnitskaya was among many people Rohrabacher encountered during a congressional delegation he led to Moscow. He added that Rohrabacher was not focused on her identity and did not recall the meeting.
While Rohrabachers trip to Moscow has been widely reported, his meeting with Veselnitskaya has not.
