The Trump team has spent a year denying ties with Russia, and denying collusion. But the president’s son released four pages of emails Tuesday, after the New York Times had reported on them.

Trump Jr. has agreed to testify before a congressional committee, pending an invitation.

The sudden twist in the Russia affair came after the newspaper reported on a meeting set up at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, by a globe-trotting music impresario who knows the Trump family through one of his clients.

A five-star nomad whose Facebook page features a string of pictures from exotic locales, Rob Goldstone informed the candidate’s son that a mutual friend had met with a Russian federal prosecutor who had dirt to dish.

This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump

”(This) would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” Goldstone wrote. ”This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

He offered to set up a meeting with Trump Jr. and someone he described this way: ”A Russian government attorney.”

The attorney in question, Natalia Veselnitskaya, has denied connections to the Russian government. But she told NBC News in an interview that the Trump team was very interested in what she had to say.

The Trump inner circle says the meeting was a bust; Veselnitskaya didn’t deliver anything of value, they say and the encounter ended after about a half-hour.
