Browder, who renounced his U.S. citizenship to avoid taxes, convinced Sen. [[John McCain]] to sponsor the [[Russia sanctions bill]] to recover his wealth. Obama signed the bill. Veselnitskaya, who doesn't understand the U.S. political system, says she was asking Donald Trump, Jr. for help because people were trying to prevent her from testifying. Veselnitskaya wanted to tell Senators that Browder scammed the Russian treasury, and Browder scammed the Congress with false allegations about [[Magnitsky_Act_of_2012#Bill_Browder|Sergei Magnitsky]]. In the end, Veselnitskaya's testimony was scuttled.]]+
