Trump Jr. met with Kremlin
Alexander Torshin
Reports surfaced last week that  Alexander Torshin  the deputy governor of the Russian central bank   tried to pitch a meeting last May between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
 Torshin 's request circulated among Trump campaign officials and eventually reached President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner  who declined the request.
But that didn't stop  Torshin  from meeting the President's son at an NRA event in Kentucky a few weeks later.

"Donald J. Trump Jr. was attending an NRA convention and having dinner when an acquaintance asked him to say hello to  Torshin  and made an introduction " Alan Futerfas said in a statement to the Daily News. "They made small talk for a few minutes and went back to their separate meals. That is the extent of their communication or contact."
