On Thursday, Donald Trump stated that he was extremely surprised by the decision of the Senate Intelligence Committee to summon Trump Jr. for testimony again.
Speaking at the White House, Trump also spoke in detail about Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer whom her son met in June 2016. Veselnitskaya at the time of the meeting was working with Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that ordered the infamous Steele Dossier.
Trump noted that Veselnitskaya at that time worked with Fusion GPS and met with her both before and after meeting with Fusion manager Glen Simpson.
“Then she returned to Fusion GPS, it was they who wrote the fake dossier. Why did she go to Fusion GPS, why did she return? ”Trump said on Thursday.
Simpson testified to the Congress in 2017 that he did not know about the meeting at the Trump Tower with Veselnitskaya until it became known in 2017. At that time, he worked with Veselnitskaya on an investigation aimed at exposing the former American citizen William Browder, whose congressional connections allowed him to secure the adoption of Magnitsky Law in late 2012, and in 2013 to file a lawsuit with the hands of the US government against Veselnitskaya’s client. From the testimony of Simpson in the Senate Judicial Committee on August 22, 2017 about their meetings with Veselnitskaya in June 2016:
Oh: I think June 8 was lunch in New York, and then on the 10th there was lunch in Washington, if I do not confuse anything … (highlighted by the editors)
A. I’ve been trying to make it out for everyone, something like that.
Natalia Veselnitskaya noticed that from these “it seems to me” and “if I do not confuse anything” a new paradigm was born: Veselnitskaya and Simpson met before and after the meeting, and therefore worked together against Trump.
“I do not remember a single meeting with Glen Simpson in June 2016 in New York. At least, even assuming that he was somewhere where I was in New York those days, we could not discuss with him either the meeting at the Trump Tower (which he did not know) or his contacts with Steele and his so-called dossier (about which I knew nothing).
The mysterious statements about “before” and “immediately after” that filled up the information space reminds me of an episode from the new series “The fix”, in which the PR technologists, having established the presence of two prosecutors at the same time and in one place, gave it for a secret meeting. I saw him in June of that year in Washington and only in connection with the case, which was conducted by about 10 American lawyers, whom I hired and advised on behalf of my client for his defense in the USA ”- says Veselnitskaya.
“Not only was I not aware of the work of Glenn Simpson on someone else, but I was shocked when I found out from the media that he was related to Steal’s Record.” This document, if I may say so, is the exact opposite of how Simpson works and how his reports look on hundreds of pages with conclusions, analysis and documents. Here – the lack of sources, errors, different styles and design, violation of serial numbers and dates, and the complete lack of analysis as such. Steele’s “Intelligence Reports”, compiled for $ 160,000 in a couple of months, are scattered pieces of scabrous pathological fantasies that, if they turned out to be true by at least a third, then all US intelligence services should be dismissed, and only one Briton should be hired.
Glenn Simpson worked as a contractor in our business, which the United States instituted according to the convicted fraudster Browder, he collected information on him, about his connections, about his past and present, he helped our lawyer team in delivering subpoenas to Browder, which he avoided by all means . Today it is known for certain that all those people from the former US Department of State who helped Browder to legalize his fake story about Magnitsky were associated with Christopher Steele, or with the promotion of his “works”. I never heard about Style until I read its so-called dossier. Glenn also never talked about him when we were looking for sources of information about Browder in England or were looking for English contractors in the field of information investigations. Looking back today, I’m absolutely sure that Mr. Simpson was specifically set up under this “Steele Dossier”. The one who did this pursued two goals at once: eliminate Simpson as a witness against Browder and the people who helped him in the US, and demonize me in the eyes of the Republicans, as a person associated with the author of the document, which was essentially the beginning of the Democratic crusade against the current president USA. These people perfectly coped with their task. This is confirmed by the words of President Trump. ”
