MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian lawyer who met Donald Trump Jr after his father won the 2016 U.S. Republican presidential nomination has said she is ready to testify to Congress to dispel what she called "mass hysteria" about the encounter.

President Donald Trump's eldest son eagerly agreed last year to meet Natalia Veselnitskaya, a woman he was told was a Russian government lawyer who might have damaging information about Democratic White House rival Hillary Clinton, according to emails released by Donald Trump Jr.

Veselnitskaya has previously said she is a private lawyer, that she never obtained damaging information about Clinton, and that she has no ties with the Kremlin.

"I'm ready to clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria – but only through lawyers or testifying in the Senate," Veselnitskaya said in an interview with Russia's Kremlin-backed RT TV channel released late on Tuesday.

7. " ... she called "mass hysteria" about the encounter. "

Yo, Natalia, this "mass hysteria" is an illegal act. We know you don't have the rule of law in Putin's autocratic land, so until you understand constitutional laws of America, STFU.

12. Maybe Putin was filling Donnie Two Scoops in on her testimony

at their little post-prandial tete-a-tete so that Scoops Jr. and his merry band of collaborators could keep their stories consistent.

13. So Putin's front person is willing to lie to congress.

No big surprise there.

14. Lawyers who need lawyers

Why does she need a lawyer to testify if she's a lawyer?

I hope they ask her about that money laundering trial that was mysteriously settled after Trump fired Preet Bharara
