Donald Trump Jr faced damaging new claims on Friday that he lied about his meeting with a Russian lawyer, as an ex-Soviet intelligence officer revealed he was there too and claimed a trove of claims about Democrats and 'bad money' was handed over.
Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin - who U.S. intelligence think may still be a spy - told the Associated Press that he was part of the Trump Tower meeting with Don Jr.
Don Jr brought Jared Kushner, his brother-in-law who is now one of President Donald Trump's , and Paul Manafort, then the campaign chairman. But on Friday Akhmetshin and other sources revealed stunning new details about the meeting which put Don Jr on the ropes.
Akmetshin's disclosure of being there blew apart Don Jr's claim on Tuesday to have told 'everything' there was to say about the meeting - because the president's son had only admitted to the presence of Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Then Akhmetshin, a former Soviet military intelligence officer, piled on the pressure with a bombshell claim that Veselnitskaya had brought a plastic folder full of printed documents which contained claims of the Democratic National Committee receiving dirty Russian money.
That directly contradicted Don Jr's account that no information had been received from the visiting Russians. Don Jr was uncharacteristically silent on twitter as disclosure followed disclosure.
In contrast his brother-in-law Jared Kushner was grinning and relaxed as he and his wife Ivanka mingled with media moguls at Sun Valley in Idaho.
Democrats are beginning to seize on the claims with Bernie Sanders telling an Associated Press reporter: 'These are very, very, very serious allegations.'
He added that there should not be a rush to judgment. The most damage of the day was done to Don Jr's credibility.

Akhmetshin had better avoid any midnight surfing in Wasserman-Schultz’s district. And stay away from helium-filled balloons.
He came down to the room after ditching the damaged choppaah on the helipad.
I’m having trouble following this.
He was a Soviet or Russian spy?
But he was allowed to emigrate to the US. And he became a citizen of the US?
Which administration - Obama, Bush, Clinton - gave a Soviet spy - an enemy of our country - entry into our country and citizenship?
Russian Gossip is just GOSSIP!
Cut my taxes.
Repeal Obamacare.
Do you all even know what gossip is?
It destroys the family and relationhips of gullible people.
GOSSIP Secret meetings!
GOSSIP Secret unknown documents!
GOSSIP Hidden people!
GOSSIP Innuendo, evasive speakers.
ALL TRASH!
GOSSIP IS TRASH!
Now, who gave nuclear weapons to our enemies!
As each lie against Donald Trump is exposed as a lie, the next lie of the media and the Democrat party becomes even more outrageous as it would no longer be listened to by the public.
The insanity of the attacks and lies against Donald Trump become greater day by day. This means Donald is winning and the opposition has nothing to lose with outrageous lies.
AOL commie news and the usual suspects are reporting this. It’s a chess match.
Yet they never uttered a word,. I believe this Russian even less than Hillary, and that shocks me.
why care when we know that this is all about deflection away from the real crimes of Clinton, obama, Jarrett, Rice etc.
It is all lies, and sometimes the Mail does state truth unlike CNN, MSNBC
Idiots never tire of criticizing Sessions when they have NOT a clue about prosecutorial work.
In all of this, I keep wondering if Trump has surveillance security footage of “the Russians” coming in thru the front door (and also leaving). This established a timeline AND who actually came to the ‘meeting’.
If so, when does Trump post in on twitter?
no info or no new info
So you believe the spy over Trump Jr.?
I think you need a ZOT, Commie lib.
You are probably correct. The FBI hasn't asked because they already know what exactly what the info was. After all, some of them helped write it.
If you remember, the FBI said they were going to PAY for info on Trump, but decided not to. So, the answer to your question seems to be YES.
See the story the dem pitch is Trump trying to talk the Russians into hacking for Trump...That Trump was the instigator
Maybe that is why Obama said the oceans were going to rise in the next few years.
One more thing. Did not this woman lawyer say they only talked about the Magnitsky Act? If so this contradicts what this “spy” said.
