Background
Donald Trump Jr. is the eldest son of Donald Trump and serves as an executive vice president of the Trump Organization. In June 2016, he organized and attended a meeting at Trump Tower with Russian nationals, including attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, after being promised “dirt” on Hillary Clinton as part of what an intermediary described as Russian government support for the Trump campaign.
