Russian Official Linked to Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Trump Tower Lawyer, Is Dead
卡婭捲入俄美政治漩渦，與卡婭有關的一位俄國官員高空墜亡
韋謝爾尼特斯卡婭（下文簡寫為卡婭）是一位捲入政治漩渦的俄羅斯女律師。
根據相關報道，川普公開承認他的兒子小唐納德·特朗普與俄羅斯女律師卡婭曾經在2016年6月9日在特朗普大廈會面，參加會面的還包括特朗普的女婿、現任白宮高級顧問庫什納。這次會面的目的是獲取卡婭手中掌握的希拉里的“黑材料”。
特朗普發推文說：“這是為了取得對手信息的一次會面，完全合法，政界經常這樣做——而且一無所獲。我事前完全不知情！”
美國特別檢察官米勒密切監視這次會面的情況。米勒負責調查特朗普競選陣營是否與俄羅斯合謀，以試圖影響2016年美國總統選舉結果。
有關此事的最新消息是，一位與卡婭事件有關的俄國官員因為直升機墜毀而死亡。
A Russian official accused of directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who met senior Trump campaign officials in 2016, has plummeted to his death in a helicopter crash.
Russian Deputy Attorney General Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was exposed in a Swiss court this year for a plot to enlist another nation’s law-enforcement official as a double-agent for the Kremlin.
Media reports in Russia say he died Wednesday night when his helicopter crashed into a forest during an unauthorized flight in the Kostroma region, northeast of Moscow.
Karapetyan, 58, was intimately familiar with some of the most notorious operations carried out under the orders of Vladimir Putin. He worked closely with Veselnitskaya as well as running some of Moscow’s most high-profile efforts to thwart international investigations into Russia’s alleged crimes.
It was Karapetyan who signed a letter from the Russian government refusing to help the U.S. in a civil case it was pursuing linked to the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who was trying to expose a $230 million fraud in Russia. Leaked emails have since shown thatVeselnitskaya helped to draft the document sent with that letter.
