DIRTY COMPUTER. Janelle Monáe's stunning “emotion picture.”
NATALIA VESELNITSKAYA. Russian lawyer in infamous Trump Tower meeting much more connected to Kremlin than previously reported: “I am a lawyer, and I am an informant,” she said. “Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian prosecutor general.”
