Exclusive: Video shows Trump with associates tied to email controversy

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Video obtained exclusively by CNN offers a new look inside the web of relationships now at the center of allegations of collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia.

The video shows the future President Donald Trump attending a dinner with an Azerbaijani-Russian family who became Trump's business partners in Las Vegas in June 2013. It also shows their publicist, Rob Goldstone, who would later send Donald Trump Jr. the emails that have brought the eldest Trump son to the center of the controversy over possible collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia.
Goldstone, who is also seen in the video talking with Trump, claimed in the 2016 emails that damaging information against Hillary Clinton surfaced after a meeting between someone Goldstone described as "the Crown prosecutor of Russia" and Aras Agalarov, an Azerbaijani-Russian billionaire with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Goldstone then offered to set up a call between the younger Trump and Emin Agalarov, the billionaire's son and a pop star Goldstone represents, to discuss the information.

as missed opportunities or it wouldn't have made a difference...

Trump supporters are immune and oblivious to this kind of stuff....

It would have given us more ammo but I'm not sure it would have been a deal-breaker for them.

What stupid people know about Trump doesn't matter. I place Nov 8th blame equally on stupid Americans and Putin Republicans.

All they care about is, "What am I gonna get out of a Trump Administration?"

most of all illegitimate actions by this administration, including EO's, appointees, policies, laws, roll-backs ... it's all illegitimate once it is established that the election was stolen by crooks and thieves with the help of a hostile foreign power.

"Whoa, look at this! Now I'm glad we're going to dinner," Trump says after meeting the mother and sister. "What a beautiful mother you have! Well, you produce good looking stuff, right? Beautiful stuff."

"Stuff". Yeah, that's him alright.
