More(Reuters) - A Russian lawyer who attended a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower under scrutiny in the U.S. special counsel's Russia probe was charged with obstruction of justice in an unrelated money laundering case, the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan said.
According to an indictment unsealed on Tuesday, Nataliya Veselnitskaya was charged with obstructing justice by filing a misleading statement in the money laundering case, which was settled in 2017.
