Russian Official Linked to Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Trump Tower Lawyer, Is Dead
卡娅卷入俄美政治漩涡，与卡娅有关的一位俄国官员高空坠亡
韦谢尔尼特斯卡娅（下文简写为卡娅）是一位卷入政治漩涡的俄罗斯女律师。
根据相关报道，川普公开承认他的儿子小唐纳德·特朗普与俄罗斯女律师卡娅曾经在2016年6月9日在特朗普大厦会面，参加会面的还包括特朗普的女婿、现任白宫高级顾问库什纳。这次会面的目的是获取卡娅手中掌握的希拉里的“黑材料”。
特朗普发推文说：“这是为了取得对手信息的一次会面，完全合法，政界经常这样做——而且一无所获。我事前完全不知情！”
美国特别检察官米勒密切监视这次会面的情况。米勒负责调查特朗普竞选阵营是否与俄罗斯合谋，以试图影响2016年美国总统选举结果。
有关此事的最新消息是，一位与卡娅事件有关的俄国官员因为直升机坠毁而死亡。
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.
