Maria Butina: Alleged Russia Agent ‘Offered Sex for Job’
BBC
An alleged Kremlin agent offered sex for a job with an American special interest organisation she targeted, say US officials.
Maria Butina’s ties with Russian intelligence make her a flight risk, a federal judge ruled, and she will be held until her trial.
A lawyer for the 29-year-old said she has been co-operating with the US government for several months.
The case is not part of the US inquiry into alleged Russian election meddling.
