Special counsel Robert Mueller is now looking into Ivanka Trump and her encounter with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in June 2016, the Los Angeles Times reportedSaturday.
What did the report say?
According to the Times, Mueller is looking into an interaction Ivanka had with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin. The two Russians were part of a controversial meeting at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016. Many allege the meeting happened so the lawyer could offer dirt on Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Ivanka did not take part in that meeting. President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign manager Paul Manafort and son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is now a senior White House adviser — were all part of the meeting. President Trump has maintained the meeting was about the adoption of Russian children, not Clinton’s campaign.
