Ms. Veselnitskaya represented the FSB, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB, between 2005 and 2013, according to Russian court documents cited by Reuters.
The documents indicate Ms. Veselnitskaya and her firm, Kamerton Consulting, represented the spy agency “in a legal wrangle over ownership of an upscale property in northwest Moscow,” Reuters reported.
Neither Ms. Veselnitskaya nor the FSB responded to requests for comment Friday, Reuters reported.
Largely unknown outside Russia until earlier this month, Ms. Veselnitskaya has attracted international attention after it was revealed that she participated in a June 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr. in addition to the president’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, furthering speculation surrounding the current administration’s relationship with Moscow as congressional and federal law enforcement investigators probe Russia’s role in last year’s race.
The president’s eldest son agreed to participate in the meeting last summer after being told a Russian attorney possessed sensitive information concerning the Trump campaign’s top rival, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, according to emails he released last week.
