This despite Trump’s claiming during the campaign that he “knows nothing about Russia”, has “no loans” and “no deals” there. Grand jury interviews Trump Tower meeting figureA grand jury used by Mueller has taken secret testimony from Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian American lobbyist who attended a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with Donald Trump Jr, the Associated Press reported.
