Following the explosive report that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Kremlin-backed attorney for compromising information on Hillary Clinton, the president’s eldest son released damning emails that show he was tickled to get information that could harm the Democratic presidential candidate.
Here are the full emails:
June 3, 2016:
Emin (Agalarov, a real estate tycoon and Russian pop star represented by Goldstone) just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.
The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras (a Moscow-based developer with close ties to Putin) this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary [Clinton] and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.
This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr Trump – helped along by Aras and Emin.
What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?
I can also send this info to your father via Rhona [presumably Rhona Graff, Trump’s longtime executive assistant], but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.
Trump Jr’s response to Goldstone:
Thanks Rob I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?
June 6, 2016, Goldstone to Trump:
Let me know when you are free to talk with Emin by phone about this Hillary info – you had mentioned early this week so wanted to try to schedule a time and day. Best to you and your family.
Trump Jr. to Goldstone:
Rob could we speak now?
Goldstone to Trump Jr.:
Let me track him down in Moscow. What number he could call?
Goldstone to Trump Jr.:
He’s on stage in Moscow but should be off within 20 minutes so I am sure can call.
Trump Jr. to Goldstone:
Rob thanks for the help.
June 6, 2016, Goldstone to Trump Jr.:
Hope all is well. Emin asked that I schedule a meeting with you and the Russian government attorney who is flying over from Moscow for this Thursday. I believe you are aware of the meeting – and so wondered if 3pm or later on Thursday works for you? I assume it would be at your office.
Trump Jr. to Goldstone:
How about 3 at our offices? Thanks Rob appreciate you helping set it up.
Goldstone to Trump Jr.:
Perfect … I won’t sit in on the meeting, but will bring them at 3pm and introduce you etc. I will send the names of the two people meeting with you for security when I have them later today.
Trump Jr. to Goldstone
Great. It will likely be Paul Manafort (campaign boss) my brother in law [Jared Kushner] and me. 725 Fifth Ave 25th floor.
June 8, 2016, Goldstone to Trump Jr.:
Good morning. Would it be possible to move tomorrow meeting to 4pm as the Russian attorney is in court until 3 I was just informed.
Trump Jr. to Goldstone:
Yes Rob I could do that unless they wanted to do 3 today instead … just let me know and I’ll lock it in either way.
Goldstone to Trump Jr.:
They can’t do today as she hasn’t landed from Moscow. 4pm is great tomorrow.
