Natalia Veselnitskaya: A Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya has lobbied against the Magnitsky Act, a law passed in 2012 that imposed sanctions against top Russians for human rights abuses. The law has particularly vexed Vladimir Putin, and in retaliation for its passage Russia halted the adoption of Russian children by US families. Donald Trump Jr. agreed to meet with Veselnitskaya in June 2016 after being told she would provide damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
