Browder: ‘We Have Multiple Pieces of Evidence’ Veselnitskaya Was a Putin Agent

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "You mentioned Natalia Veselnitskaya, the woman whose name we got familiar with because she was in that June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. You’ve known her for some time. Is there any chance that she was not acting on behalf of Vladimir Putin and the Russian government? In other words, could she have been freelancing in some way?"
BROWDER: "There’s no chance. We have multiple pieces of evidence supporting the fact that she was acting as an agent for Vladimir Putin. Most importantly, we have the evidence she was working closely with Yury Chaika, the general prosecutor of Russia, the equivalent of the attorney general, who is Putin’s main enforcer. And many other things as well. She was an agent for Vladimir Putin showing up in Trump Tower. That’s for sure. And what she was asking for is also for sure which is repeal of the Maginitsky Act. What we do not know is the reaction to her request."
