Prevezon asset forfeiture
Veselnitskaya was allowed entrance into the United States on the approval of Loretta Lynch to settle the Prevezon asset forfeiture case.[3] Veselnitskaya overstayed her visa, and engaged in unregistered lobbying with FusionGPS against the Russia sanctions bill.
Hires BakerHostetler and FusionGPS
While in the United States, Veselnitskaya hired the law firm of BakerHostetler, who in turn hired FusionGPS to do opposition research on Bill Browder. Browder was the driving force behind the Magnitsky Act, or Russian sanctions bill.
Unregistered lobbying with FusionGPS
Veselnitskaya used the anti-Browder materials - which consisted of "dirt" on Clinton Foundation donors she recieved from Glenn Simpson of FusionGPS, as alleged "dirt" on Hillary Clinton in a meeting with Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort. Simpson briefed Veselnitskaya both before and after the meeting.[4]
Simpson simultaneously was working for Hillary Clinton to create the illusion of Donald Trump and the Trump team Russia collusion.
Trump Tower meeting
Rinat Akhmetshin[5] Veselnitskaya,[6] and Ike Kaveladze[7] meet with Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner.[8] The material Veselnitskaya presented to the Trump team came from Glenn Simpson of FusionGPS.[9]
During the Prevezon litigation, which is how the Obama administration granted Veselnitskaya a visa to enter the country, "Veselnitskaya received memoranda summarizing [redacted] research. Certain topics - including the Ziff Brothers (a venture capital firm specializing in capital investment) - were the-subject of both (1) memoranda Veselnitskaya received from Simpson and (2) the presentation Veselnitskaya made to Trump campaign officials. Simpson acknowledged being with Veselnitskaya at a court hearing in New York on the morning of June 9, 2016, prior to her meeting at Trump Tower." Simpson further admitted to debriefing her afterward.[10]

Browder appointed Sergei Magnitsky to investigate the theft in Russia. Magnitsky was arrested and died on the 356th day of a 365 day prison sentence. The Russian sanctions bill, or Magnitsky Act, was passed in part to recover Browder's stolen assets.
Browder later testified that Glenn Simpson and FusionGPS worked for the Putin regime to discredit him and as unregistered foreign agents of the Russian government for repeal of Russian sanctions. - ↑ https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/fusion-gps-glenn-simpson-dined-russian-lawyer-after-her-meeting-trump-tower
