Anatoli Samochornov, the Russian translator present at the supposedly infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting testified that he previously worked for the most prominent members of the Democratic Party – including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Barack Obama.
Per Breitbart:
Samochornov also said that he held a “public trust” clearance from the U.S. government. The clearance provides a level of screening for individuals who do government work described as sensitive, but whose positions do not require a security clearance.
Samochornov was previously identified as being the Russian translator who was present at the meeting at which Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya reportedly argued against the Magnitsky Act, which sanctions Russian officials. The meeting was set up with Donald Trump Jr., presented as being about information regarding Hillary Clinton. Veselnitskaya says she does not speak English and has given interviews to U.S. news media outlets through translators.
Breitbart News reported last year that according to his LinkedIn profile, from 2005 until at least that year Samochornov was a project manager at the Meridian International Center, which describes itself as a “nonprofit, global leadership organization headquartered in Washington, DC.” Meridian is a principal partner of the U.S. State Department.
The Breitbart News report noted at the time that Samochornov’s LinkedIn profile further describes his work on behalf of the State Department, purportedly while he was at Meridian. The timeline of his work at Meridian included the period when Clinton was secretary of state.
Shockingly, Samochornov is not the only participant at the Trump Tower meeting with Clinton ties. Russian-born Washington lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin claims a personal relationship with the First Lady.
