WHO’S WHO IN TRUMP JR. EMAILS

-

ARAS AGALAROV

Agalarov is the president of the Crocus Group, a Moscow-based real estate developmen­t firm that licensed the Miss Universe pageant from the Trump Organizati­on in 2013 to host its pageant in the Russian capital. That is when Agalarov and his son, Emin, became associated with the Trumps. Agalarov is mentioned in an email from Goldstone as having met with the “Crown prosecutor of Russia” who offered to provide incriminat­ing informatio­n about Hillary Clinton.

EMIN AGALAROV

The son of Aras Agalarov. He is a vice president of the Crocus Group and a pop music star in Russia. (In 2013, Donald Trump appeared in one of his videos.) Agalarov is mentioned repeatedly in the emails. When Goldstone first offers access to the informatio­n he has at his disposal, Donald Trump Jr. requests a phone call with Emin. It’s not clear whether the two talked, but the next day Goldstone set up a meeting at Agalarov’s request.

NATALIA VESELNITSK­AYA

A lawyer who has reported links to the Kremlin. It’s not clear whether Veselnitsk­aya is the “Russian government attorney ”who Goldstone suggests will participat­e in the meeting, but she is the person who attended. She has denied having ties to the Russian government.

ROB GOLDSTONE

A British-born promoter who represents Emin Agalarov. Along with the Agalarovs, Goldstone was involved in the 2013 Miss Universe pageant planning, which is how he came into contact with the Trumps. He’s the individual driving the conversati­on with Trump Jr., but, a publicist through-and-through, he reminds Trump Jr. that the meeting is a result of the Agalarovs’ efforts.

YURI YAKOVLEVIC­H CHAIKA

There is no “Crown prosecutor” in Russia, and the reference may be a function of Goldstone’s country of origin. The New York Times reports that the reference is to Chaika, Russia’s prosecutor general. Chaika has been in that position since June 2006, when he was first nominated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
