British music publicist Rob Goldstone, who helped set up the infamous June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Russians, wants to come to the U.S. to talk to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Goldstone reached out to the president’s eldest son to line up the meeting that ultimately included Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya as well as Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.
Goldstone, who is currently residing in Bangkok Thailand, is ‘ready’ to talk to Mueller’s investigators, NBC News reported, citing multiple sources.
Mueller continues to meet with an array of people of interest as he explores Trump campaign Russia contacts and Russian interference in the elections.

His team has already charged two officials, Manafort and deputy Rick Gates, with money laundering, conspiracy, and foreign lobbying disclosure violations.
Former Trump foreign policy advisor George Papadlopoulos has pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his meetings with a professor in Britain with Kremlin contacts.
Goldstone’s lawyer, G. Robert Gage, whose office is a few blocks from Trump Tower in Manhattan, only told the network that ‘nothing is presently scheduled’ for his client.
He didn’t immediately respond to a request by DailyMail.com for comment.
Goldstone infamously reached out to Trump Jr. with an emailed appeal where he stated that ‘the Crown prosecutor of Russia … offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.’
Trump Jr. jumped at the idea of dirt, responding: ‘If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.’

Goldstone also informed him: ‘This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump — helped along by Aras and Emin.’
Goldstone represented Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov and his son, Emin, a pop singer who appeared with Trump at the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.
As the Mueller probe moves forward, congressional investigators continue to seek their own information.
Republican Senator Charles Grassley and Democrat Dianne Feinstein wrote Kushner this week, saying Kushner neglected to turn over an email about a ‘Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite’ when responding to their document requests.
The president’s son-in-law also ‘overlooked’ an email communication about WikiLeaks.

Kushner also failed to turn over information he was forwarded about Russian-American businessman Sergei Millian, the senators wrote.
Millian once headed the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce. According to a January ABC News report, Millian is the person who may have ‘unwittingly’ provided unverified salacious and debunked information that ended up in the infamous dirty dossier about Donald Trump’s conduct in a Moscow hotel room in 2013.
Millian is suspected of giving the information to someone who was secretly reporting to ex British spy Christopher Steele, who reportedly has been providing information to Mueller’s team.
