Russian lobbyist who attended Don Jr’s meeting has even deeper ties to Kremlin spies than previously reported

"Russian immigrant Rinat Akhmetshin met with then-candidate Donald Trump’s team and now he’s under special counselor Robert Mueller’s magnifying glass due to deeper ties to the Russian government than previously known. In a Monday New York Times expose, it was revealed that Akhmetshin has an association with the Russian spy agency the FSB as well as a history of working for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s allies. Akhmetshin also helped unmask what might be a corruption problem that caused problems with troops at a Kyrgyzstan air force base, where Russians would like American’s removed. He’s even helped Russian business tycoons who coincidentally suffered sophisticated hacks. In a separate incident, Akhmetshin got federal prosecutors to bring charges against an American businessman that turned out to be a CIA agent working in the former Soviet Union."
