The Russian lawyer at the center of controversy over a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump’s son offered to testify in the Senate about the encounter that was set up on the pretext of providing incriminating information about Democratic contender Hillary Clinton.
“I’m ready to clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria only through legal means -- either through lawyers or testifying in the Senate,” Natalia Veselnitskaya said in an interview to Russian state-funded TV channel RT broadcast on Wednesday. She said she’d do so provided her safety was assured because “I have to think first of all about my security and that of my family.”
