The fixer at the heart of the

political scandal

Scandal erupted when last year’s meeting, attended by a former

Kremlin spook, became public knowledge, though there is no

suggestion Mr Goldstone has behaved improperly.

So how did the only child of two factory machinists end up

as the man who might unwittingly sink President Trump?

Nicknamed “Fred Flintstone” by associates, Goldstone, 57,

is the boss of New York PR firm Oui 2 Entertainment.

Its website boasts of top celebs and huge companies among

Goldstone’s clients — including Michael Jackson, BB King,

Sir Richard Branson, EMI Music and top ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi.

One client was Russian pop wannabe Emin Agalarov, 37,

whose billionaire father Aras is a Moscow property tycoon with

close links to Vladimir Putin.

Aras asked Goldstone to set up last year’s meeting between

President Trump’s oldest son Donald Jnr, 39, and Russian lawyer

Natalia Veselnitskaya which has rocked the US.

Before founding Oui 2, Goldstone was head of international marketing

at the HMV Group.

He is said to have represented acts touring Australia including Cyndi Lauper,

Julio Iglesias and U2.

In one newspaper profile, the 20st Goldstone tells how he accompanied

Sir Bob Geldof to famine-hit Ethiopia and GAINED six pounds.

He even claims to have looked after the world’s press on Charles and

Diana’s historic royal tour of Australia in 1988.
