Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya gained attention for her June 2016 election campaign meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort. Since the meeting in Trump Towerwhen she promised damaging information about Hilary Clintonmany questions have been raised about who she is and how she quickly acquired her wealth.
In an attempt to understand how the attorney was able to afford millions of dollars of property on a five-figure salary, CNNs National Security Analyst Michael Weiss investigated where she got all of her money.
Veselnitskaya, 42, didnt respond to interview attempts from Weiss who hoped to confirm her employment details and income, he reports. But according to two separate Russian financial databases (Larix and Cronos), Weiss found that she went from a salary of $1,559 a year in 1993 to earning $53,645 in 2003. But, what sparked the most curiosity was how she bought pricey properties situated a short distance from Vladimir Putin's presidential residence.
In August 2003, before the lion's share of that $53,645 was earned, the Russian land registry shows that Veselnitskaya was somehow able to buy two large plots of land in an elite residential community in the Moscow suburbs -- properties that cannot have been sold for less than $500,000 apiece at the time, according to two Russian brokers with extensive experience selling in that area, Weiss reports.
