Natalia Veselnitskaya was an informant

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russian-lawyer-who-met-with-trump-jr-says-she-is-an-informant/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab6a&linkId=51051749

An organization established by an exiled Russian tycoon says it has obtained emails showing collaboration between Russian government officials and the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. in 2016. The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, also admitted she's an informant to the Russian attorney general, during an NBC News interview that's slated to air Friday, according to the New York Times.

"I am a lawyer, and I am an informant," she reportedly told NBC. "Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general."

This contradicts her earlier contention that she had no connections with the Russian government. Last year, when asked point blank by NBC if she had any connections to the Russian government or had previously worked for the Kremlin, Veselnitskaya replied, "No."

All the evidence points to the reality that Russia undermined our democracy to get Trump elected.
