Good morning

Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.

The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.

This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin.

What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?

I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.

Rob Goldstone

Emin Agalarov is an Azerbaijani-born Russian pop star. His father is Aras Agalarov, a billionaire oligarch who partnered with Donald Trump to bring the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013. Emin is a business partner and friend of the Trump family and, according to his publicist, Rob Goldstone, it was Emin who requested the controversial meeting.

There is no "Crown prosecutor" in Russia. There is a role of the prosecutor general of Russia, who works in an official capacity in the Russian government. It is not clear if Goldstone is referring to this role in the email exchange.

Rhona Graff is Donald Trump’s longtime secretary. She was his personal assistant for two decades, sitting outside his Trump Tower office, and acting as gatekeeper for those seeking meetings with Trump.

Thanks Rob I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?

Best,
Don

Hope all is well

Emin asked that I schedule a meeting with you and The Russian government attorney who is flying over from Moscow for this Thursday.

I believe you are aware of the meeting - and so wondered if 3pm or later on Thursday works for you?

I assume it would be at your office.

"Russian government attorney" refers here to Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer who has lobbied extensively for the repeal of the Magnitsky Act, a 2012 American law punishing Russian human rights violators. Russia responded to this by banning American adoptions of Russian children. Though she denied it in an NBC News interview on July 11, the New York Times reported that Veselnitskaya is connected to the Kremlin.

Great. It will likely be Paul Manafort (campaign boss) my brother in law and me. 725 Fifth Ave 25th floor.

Paul Manafort was Trump's campaign chairman at the time. Last month, he registered retroactively as a foreign agent for lobbying work he did in Ukraine on behalf of a pro-Russian political party. A longtime DC lobbyist who worked to facilitate the Trump campaign’s connections to Republican establishment, he has denied contact with Russia during the campaign.

Jared Kushner is Donald Trump Jr.'s brother-in-law, and was an advisor to the Trump campaign at the time. Married to Ivanka Trump, Kushner is currently a senior adviser to President Trump.
