Rob Goldstone, the publicist who set up the Trump Tower meeting between several Russians and Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner in June 2016, revealed new details of the meeting to NBC News correspondent Cynthia McFadden:
McFADDEN: : So you would agree with the intelligence officials, both past and present, who say that this was most likely a Russian probe to the Trump campaign?
GOLDSTONE: I mean, I can’t say that definitively… I’m willing to believe that I don’t know who wanted this meeting.
McFADDEN: But it was a dirty offer.
GOLDSTONE: Yes.
McFADDEN: It was a dirty offer that they accepted.
GOLDSTONE: Yes. That is true, that didn’t materialize, but yes, it’s the willingness to accept it.
