WASHINGTON There are now eight confirmed attendees of the June 2016 meeting that the eldest son of President Donald Trump took after being promised damaging information on his fathers presidential election opponent, Hillary Clinton .

CNN and The Washington Post on Tuesday identified the previously unnamed eighth attendee as Ike Kaveladze. The U.S. citizen, who was implicated in a money laundering scheme in 2000, is a senior vice president at Russian real estate developer Aras Agalarovs company.

Agalarovs son, Emin, is a singer represented by Rob Goldstone, the music publicist who arranged the meeting via emails with Donald Trump Jr. After The New York Times uncovered the meeting, Trump Jr. tweeted images of the emails last week, which he said was an effort to be totally transparent.

The emails mention those involved with the meeting as: Goldstone, Trump Jr., Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, Trumps son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort. But in the days since, three more people who attended the meeting have been revealed: a lobbyist working with Veselnitskaya , an independent translator hired by Veselnitskaya , and now, Kaveladze.
