While we are still trying to ascertain who all was in that meeting and what, if any, information was shared that could have helped Trump's presidential campaign, we cannot ignore another meeting with a foreign government - one where we have proof serious campaign violations were committed.
Back in January of this year, Politico reported that Democratic official met with Ukrainian officials to get information on the Trump campaign in an effort to boost Hillary Clinton 's presidential bid.
In a tweet last month, Trump said "Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign - 'quietly working to boost Clinton.' So where is the investigation A.G." It even prompted a Ukraine member of parliament, Andre Derkah, to send a letter last month to Ukraine's prosecutor general requesting "That authorities launch a pretrial investigation into 'illegal interference in the election of President of the United States organized by a criminal investigation.'" It also raised some very serious concerns for our organization, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust.
Specifically, the complaint contends that, last year, Ukrainian-American operative and DNC consultant, Alexandra Chalupa met with Ukrainian government officials to get information in an effort to expose ties between Trump, his former campaign manager Paul Manafort and Russia.
As reported, a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy was instructed to help Chalupa conduct research on connections between Trump, Manafort and Russia.
To date we have no proof that anything of value was received by the Trump campaign as a result of the Donald Jr. meeting.
The Russian lawyer who meet with Trump's son, Natalia Veselnitskaya, said: "I never had any damaging or sensitive information about Hillary Clinton. It was never my intention to have that."
