Investigators are taking a fresh look at two of the Russians involved in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting because of a secret rendezvous they had earlier this year, possibly to coordinate their stories.

According to the Associated Press, congressional investigators are interested in a coffee meeting held in June in Moscow between Rinat Akhmetshin and Ike Kaveladze, two of the Russians who attended the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian attorney who was lobbying against the Magnitsky Act, a sanctions bill.

Akhmetshin is a Russian-American lobbyist and former Soviet military officer who worked closely with Veselnitskaya and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson on the anti-Magnitsky consulting project. Simpson was working on the infamous Trump dossier at the same time.

Kaveladze is the U.S. representative for the Agalarov family, the real estate tycoons who have done business with the Trumps.

Akhmetshin asked Kaveladze for the meeting, he has told congressional investigators. According to the AP, the Beltway-based political operative told congressional investigators this week that he contacted Kaveladze to discuss coming forward about the Trump Tower meeting ahead of news reports.
