Chapter 34 Summary: “Senator Grassley, Summer 2017”

The new judge in the Prevezon case admitted Gorokhov’s evidence. However, the night before the trial was slated to begin, Denis Katsyv agreed to pay $5.9 million to settle the case. Browder, who was to be the first witness (and was sick with the flu in Washington, DC), was relieved and pleased with this outcome. To avoid trial, the company paid a high price, including millions in legal fees. In addition, NBC aired a “hard-hitting exposé” (249) about the Magnitsky case, Nemtsov’s assassination, and Kara-Murza’s and Gorokhov’s attempted assassinations.

Browder was in Washington, DC, at the request of Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who was interested in the lack of enforcement of the FARA law. Grassley planned to compel officials from the DOJ before his Senate Judiciary Committee to determine why they hadn’t followed up on Browder’s complaint.

Chapter 35 Summary: “Trump Tower, Summer 2017”

The New York Times reported that Veselnitskaya, the Russian attorney, met with Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner (Trump’s son-in-law), and Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016. Because the press was now very interested, Browder granted many interviews. Later, it was discovered that a former Soviet counterintelligence officer, Rinat Akhmetshin, was also at that meeting. Trump, Jr. claimed that he attended because the Russians promised evidence to incriminate Hillary Clinton.
