Not buying that it is not related. They are probably not at liberty to disclose the entire truth at this point.

Natalia Veselnitskaya — the Russian lawyer who infamously met with Donald Trump Jr. and top Trump campaign officials at Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign, promising dirt on Hillary Clinton — has been indicted by the Justice Department in a separate case.
Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced the unsealing of this indictment Tuesday morning. It charges Veselnitskaya with obstruction of justice, alleging she submitted “an intentionally misleading declaration” to a US federal court in 2015.
The indictment is unlikely to go anywhere, since Veselnitskaya is unlikely to come to the United States and face arrest. And it has no explicit link to the Trump-Russia investigation or Mueller’s probe.
What it does do, however, is allege that Veselnitskaya once worked closely with a Russian government office, and then tried to mislead a US court about it.
What Did Trump and Kushner Know About Russian Money Laundering
The Trump and Kushner dynasties are multiply connected to Russian real-estate deals.
At the center of the story is the Russian lawyer and activist Natalia Veselnitskaya, who led the team that met with Don Jr., Kushner, and Manafort. Veselnitskaya is Russia’s chief advocate in the effort to undo the Magnitsky Act, a painful sanctions regime imposed on dozens of leading Russian officials that was enacted by Congress in 2012 and signed into law by President Obama. The Magnitsky Act is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who was arrested, tortured, and allegedly killed in custody after he’d uncovered evidence that the Russian government and a shady group of private investors had looted Hermitage Capital Management, whose CEO is William Browder. As part of their investigation, back in the mid-2000s, Magnitsky and Browder learned that the fraudsters had stolen $230 million and had attempted to launder it through US and Western banks and real-estate properties.
