Red faced. Maria Butina decides to take a plea in regards to espionage. |
Maria Butina decided to plea guilty in regards to violations in terms of being a foreign agent for a hostile government.
In July, the feds arrested Butina after they discovered she had a trove of information to influence conservative and Republican lobbyists.
She was a vocal supporter of gun rights here in the United States and Russia.
Butina was allegedly in a romantic affair with Paul Erickson, a Republican lobbyist twice her age. Erickson had an influence on prominent members of the NRA.
She isn't Anna Chapman. |
The Robert Mueller investigation has gotten her caught in the mix.
Donald J. Trump and his allies are pretty much under investigation for allegedly using Russian operatives to meddle with the 2016 election.
