Having been told

"Trump’s son Don Jr, son-in-law Jared Kushner and campaign chairman Paul Manafort met at Trump Tower on 9 June 2016 with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, having been told she was offering sensitive information about Clinton from the Russian government."

(Guardian.)

What was first? Had they been told [about the offer] first and met afterwards or was it otherwise?
