Robert Mueller is now the ninth person in Donald Trump Jr.s Russia meeting

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/07/18/robert-mueller-is-now-the-ninth-person-in-donald-trump-jr-s-russia-meeting/?utm_term=.98868b533435


We have the identity of the “eighth person” in Donald Trump Jr.'s Russia meeting. The Post's Rosalind S. Helderman reports that it's Ike Kaveladze, an American-based employee of a Russian real estate company. According to his lawyer, Kaveladze planned to serve in the June 2016 meeting as an interpreter and the representative of Emin and Aras Agalarov, the Russian pop star and developer who hosted President Trump's 2013 Miss Universe pageant.

It's not clear how the presence of Kaveladze, a U.S. citizen, might change perceptions of the meeting, for which Trump Jr. was promised opposition research about Democrats courtesy of the Russian government. But the big takeaway here is this: The meeting is now under investigation.

Kaveladze's lawyer, Scott Balber, told Helderman that he received a phone call over the weekend from special counsel Robert Mueller's office seeking an interview with Kaveladze. That means Mueller is now looking into the meeting, and it's the first on-the-record indication that he is.

This is the title on the Washington Post site. I am not surprised Mueller is looking into this. but the title doesn't match the article.

It's very misleading & someone on the right will have a field day with it.

Hey, change that headline.
Are you aware of the right wing lie machine and the low information problem?!

It's bonehead moves like this that always get twisted.
