The Russian lawyer who met Donald Trump Jr after his father won the Republican nomination for the 2016 US presidential election counted Russia's FSB security service among her clients for years, Russian court documents show.
The documents show that the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, successfully represented the FSB's interests in a legal wrangle over ownership of an upscale property in northwest Moscow between 2005 and 2013.
The FSB, successor to the Soviet-era KGB service, was headed by Vladimir Putin before he became Russian president. There is no suggestion that Veselnitskaya is an employee of the Russian government, and she has denied having anything to do with the Kremlin. But, the fact she represented the FSB in a court case may raise questions.
The Obama administration last year sanctioned the FSB for what it said was its role in hacking the election, something Russia flatly denies.
