"Smoking Gun"
"If the information in The Times' latest report is true, it "indicates that the Trump campaign certainly knew that the Russian government was working to help elect Donald Trump," said Jens David Ohlin, an associate dean at Cornell Law School and an expert on criminal law.
Ohlin said the development means Trump and his associates can no longer credibly deny that Russia meddled in the election.
"They knew it, and hoped to benefit from it. And they did," Ohlin said.
Susan Hennessey, a contributor to the website Lawfare and former general counsel at the National Security Agency, said on Twitter that the latest details on Trump's meeting with Veselnitskaya constituted a smoking gun."
