last June, Trump Jr. met with a lawyer linked to the Russian government after being promised damaging information on Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton.

According to Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, during the June 2016 meeting, Donald Trump Jr. quite likely broke the law with his father’s offer and suggested a re-examination of the Magnitsky Act after being promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton.

Recently new details of their conversation was revealed in an interview with Bloomberg Politics. Trump Jr. claimed the Magnitsky Act, which Congress passed in 2012 to punish Russian officials for human rights abuses, can be repealed if his father is elected.

“Looking ahead, if we come to power, we can return to this issue and think what to do about it. I understand our side may have messed up, but it’ll take a long time to get to the bottom of it.” Trump Jr. said during the meeting.

Recently, multiple investigations look into whether Trump’s campaign comprised with the Russian government to interfere in last year’s election.

Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, tweeted significant details about Trump Jr. and Veselnitskaya meeting.

Mariotti said: “It is a federal crime to exchange an ‘official act’ for something of value. It’s called theft of honest services. To put it more simply, offering to exchange an official act for something of value is like soliciting a bribe.” He added: “There can be no serious question that supporting repeal of the Magnitsky Act would be an official act for purposes of this statute.”

Mariotti said Trump’s eldest son is guilty under state law and he could potentially find himself beyond the reach of a pardon.

Trump Jr. said on Saturday: “I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of the person I would be meeting with beforehand,”.

On Monday, Donald Trump Jr finally admitted the meeting and claimed that his father knew nothing of the meeting or these events.
