A Russian lobbyist who attended a meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer has testified before special counsel Robert Mueller’s grand jury, The Financial Times reported Wednesday.

Rinat Akhmetshin, a former Soviet army officer, testified before the jury for several hours on Aug. 11, signaling that Mueller is including the controversial Trump Tower meeting in his investigation.

Mueller convened a grand jury earlier this month as part of his investigation into Russian interference into the election.

Akhmetshin was part of the controversial 2016 meeting that came to light last month, during which Donald Trump Jr., along with campaign head Paul Manafort and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, met with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Trump Jr. has denied any wrongdoing in taking the meeting.

3. That meeting gets bigger and bigger.

I remember early on in news about teh meeting, it was revealed that Jr. had scheduled it for a whole floor that basically held a huge meeting room, and people were saying " why would they use such a big room for only 4 people?"
at the time when only 4 attendees were known.
And the more and more was revealed...now there's more people said to have attended the meeting that those who legally voted for Trump.
