Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya was charged with obstruction of justice by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York Tuesday. The Kremlin-connected attorney allegedly colluded with Russian government officials in an attempt to subvert a U.S. civil money laundering action against her clients in 2014.

Veselnitskaya’s more well-known role is that of the Russian attorney who met with Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and other members of the Trump presidential team at Trump Tower in the summer of 2016. The suit does not touch on the Trump Tower meeting or the purported information on Trump’s then-opponent, Hillary Clinton, that was alleged to have been offered to the campaign.
