Trump Jr's Invite to Get Information on Hillary Clinton was Legit, says Rob Goldstone

DONALD TRUMP JR.'S INVITE TO GET INFO ON HILLARY CLINTON WAS LEGIT, SAYS ROB GOLDSTONE, THE PUBLICIST WHO EMAILED HIM

BY GRAHAM LANKTREE ON 11/20/17 AT 6:43 AM

The publicist who arranged a meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and several Kremlin-linked Russians has spoken out about the email he sent offering “incriminating information” on Hillary Clinton and says he is eager to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller.

British music publicist Rob Goldstone told The Sunday Times Magazine that last June his client, Russian pop star and real estate mogul Emin Agalarov, wanted to get in touch with the Trumps.

Goldstone told the magazine he was the conduit between Agalarov and the Trumps and recalled, “I remember specifically saying to Emin, you know, we probably shouldn’t get involved in this. It’s politics, it’s Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.” The Russian singer's father, Aras Agalarov, had helped host Donald Trump’s Miss Universe pageant in Moscow in 2013 and worked to negotiate a Trump Tower real estate deal in Moscow.

“If I’m guilty of anything, and I hate the word guilty, it’s hyping the message and going the extra mile for my clients. Using hot-button language to puff up the information I had been given. I didn’t make up the details, I just made them sound more interesting,” Goldstone said.
