</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton in the now infamous meeting that also included Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, attended a black-tie inaugural party held by the campaign committee of Republican Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California, an associate who accompanied her told The Washington Post in a report published Saturday.</span></div><div>
</div><div>Veselnitskaya and Russian American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin, also present at the Trump Tower meeting, held wine glasses and smiled in a photo posted by the campaign committee of Rohrabacher, a longtime advocate for better relations with Russia.</div><div>
</div><div>In a statement to The Post, Veselnitskaya said she went to a private event in Washington, D.C. that night at the invitation of Akhmetshin, and that she did not attend President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Akhmetshin’s lawyer, Michael Tremonte, told the newspaper that he invited Veselnitskaya because she was in town and that an event organizer gave him the tickets. However, a spokesman for<b> Rohrabacher’</b>s congressional office, Kenneth Grubbs, said there was no record of Akhmetshin’s invitation or that the Russians bought tickets to the party.</div><div>
</div><div>The presence of Russians at the inauguration events reflected anticipation in Moscow for a thaw in relations with the U.S. after Donald Trump's victory, especially considering Trump's occasional praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin.</div><div>
