Meanwhile, the identity of an eighth person present at a meeting in 2016 between a Russian lawyer and top Trump campaign officials has been revealed. Ike Kaveladze, a Soviet-born U.S. citizen, attended as a representative of the father-and-son Russian developers who asked for the meeting. In 2000, the U.S. government accused Kaveladze of helping launder $1.4 billion of Russian and Eastern European money through U.S. banks, though he was never charged with a crime. The meeting in June of last year was organized after President Trump’s own son, Donald Trump Jr., embraced an apparent effort by the Russian government to peddle information incriminating Hillary Clinton in an attempt to help Trump win the presidency.
