From phone calls and text messages to “an expensive painting” that Aras Agalarov gave Donald Trump for his birthday in 2016, the two families were in regular communication before and after the Trump Tower meeting — and during the transition. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.hxJ1nj92k#.uwyZ1YAag …pic.twitter.com/4BjFT99ZPA

Two calls were placed between Trump Jr. and Emin's phones on June 6, 2016 — with a blocked call received by Jr. in between those two calls. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.waxwAdREp#.pco7YOr0z … / Three days later, the Trump Tower meeting took place.pic.twitter.com/yYdh4CkYu2

From the Dems' report: The day after the Trump Tower meeting, Aras Agalarov gave Donald Trump "an expensive painting." Trump sent him an over-the-top thank-you note.

Now, here's the big thing. The Dems' report showed that weird Dec. 13, 2016, text—but the endnote references Nov. 10, 2016.

Also during the transition, Rhona Graff—Trump's longtime exec asst—fwd'ed an email to Bannon that she'd received from Rob Goldstone on behalf of Aras Agalarov. Her message to Bannon: "The PE [President Elect] knows Aras well. Rob is his rep in the US ...." https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-jr-and-emin-agalarov-stayed-in-touch-during-the?utm_term=.hfA0DQAOX#.fc4aMBzZY …pic.twitter.com/Pafd1dFW6I

Yes, I know, excellent reporting! What do you think is the likelihood that Emin Agalarov played in New York in May 2017 and did not have any communications with the Trump clan?https://twitter.com/ystriya/status/884884689563111426 …
