On Tuesday, Trump Jr. released a series of emails that he said led to the meeting. The release followed a report in The New York Times newspaper. The son described his action as an effort "to be totally transparent."
小川普周二公布了一系列他所称的导致了这次会面的电子邮件，公布邮件这事发生在《纽约时报》的报道之后。小川普称自己的行为“完全公开透明。”
The emails came as Special Counsel Robert Mueller and several congressional committees explore Russian involvement in the presidential election.

The email exchange
邮件往来
The email exchange between Trump Jr. and American music publicist Rob Goldstone took place in June 2016. Goldstone said he was representing Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer.
小川普和美国音乐公关人员罗伯·戈德斯通（Rob Goldstone）之间的电子邮件发生在2016年6月。戈德斯通表示，他是俄罗斯律师娜塔莉亚·维塞尼茨卡雅（Natalia Veselnitskaya）的代表。
Goldstone described Veselnitskaya as a "Russian government attorney." He said she has "information that would incriminate Hillary" and that the information "is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump."
戈德斯通称维塞尼茨卡雅是一名俄罗斯政府律师。他说，她有一些“可以让希拉里入罪的信息”，这些信息是“俄罗斯及其政府对川普先生支持的一部分。”
Reacting to the email, Trump Jr. wrote back "If it's what you say, I love it."
小川普回复该邮件时写道：“如果事情真像你说的那样，我很喜欢。”
He also wrote that people attending the meeting "will likely be Paul Manafort (campaign boss) my brother in law and me."
他还写道，出席会议的人士“可能是保罗·马纳福特（Paul Manafort）、我姐夫以及我本人。”
At the time, Manafort was head of the Trump election campaign. Jared Kushner, Trump Jr.'s brother-in-law, now serves as a top White House advisor.
马纳福特当时是川普竞选团队的负责人。小川普的姐夫贾德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）目前担任白宫高级顾问。
In one of the emails, Goldstone wrote "I can also send this info to your father via Rhona." Rhona Graff is said to be a long-time personal assistant to the current president.
在其中一封邮件中，戈德斯通写道“我也可以通过罗娜将这些信息发给你的父亲。”罗娜·格拉芙（罗娜·格拉夫）据说是川普任总统的长期私人助理。
Trump Jr. has said different things about the talks with Veselnitskaya and its purpose.
关于同维塞尼茨卡雅的会谈以及目的，小川普有过不同说法。
On Saturday, he said it was a "short introductory meeting" about adoptions of Russian children by American families.
周六他说，这是关于美国家庭收养俄罗斯儿童的“简要介绍会。”
A day later, Trump Jr. changed his story, saying that he was told before the meeting that Veselnitskaya might have information "helpful" to the Trump campaign.
一天之后，小川普改变了他的说法。他说，在会面前他被告知维塞尼茨卡雅可能拥有一些有助于川普竞选的信息。
On Tuesday, Trump Jr. said on Twitter he believes the information about Clinton was "Political Opposition Research." He added, the attorney, "as she has said publicly, was not a government official. And, as we have said, she had no information to provide and wanted to talk about adoption policy and the Magnitsky Act."
周二，小川普在推特上表示，他认为这些关于克林顿的信息是“政治反对派研究。”他补充说，这名律师，“就像她公开说的那样，并不是政府官员。而且正如我们所说，她没有什么信息可以提供，她想要谈谈收养政策和马格尼茨基法案。”
