«Breaking News» Russian 'honeytrap' spy who infiltrated the National Rifle Association to plead GUILTY

Lawyers for alleged Russian spy Maria Butina have filed court papers indicating they have reached a deal with prosecutors and that she plans to change her plea to guilty.

Butina, who is alleged to have used her cover as a student to infiltrate the politically-powerful National Rifle Association, filed a joint motion to 'set a change of plea hearing' as early as Tuesday.

The former American University student, 30, has pleaded not guilty and previously has denied charges that she relied on contacts to infiltrate the NRA.

She was arrested in July. 

During the campaign, she met Donald Trump Jr. at a May 2016 NRA event. She also had social contacts with Trump foreign policy advisor J.D. Gordon, and questioned then-candidate Donald Trump in 2015 during the run-up to the campaign at an event termed 'Freedom Fest' held in Las Vegas.

'The parties have resolved this matter, and the Defendant Mariia Butina remains in custody,' according to the letter from her lawyers. 

Butina is accused of being a secret agent for the Russian government, and has likely taken a plea deal.

Late in the 2016 campaign, she socialized with Trump foreign policy aide J.D. Gordon, attending his birthday party. At one point, he invited her to attend a Styx concert. 

The two met at a party at the Swiss ambassador's residence. Gordon has said, and emails show, that they met on the introduction of GOP operative Paul Erickson. Butina and Erikson were in a romantic relationship.

News of the change of plea comes after a pair of filings on Friday dealing with former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and former lawyer Michael Cohen shed new light on the number of Trump circle Russia contacts during the 2016 campaign.

That number has now climbed to 14.

The information was included in a filing in the case against Maria Butina. Her lawyers and federal prosecutors have asked for a hearing as soon as Tuesday morning.

Prosecutors have alleged Butina, 30, gathered intelligence on American officials and political organizations and worked to develop relationships with American politicians through her contacts with the National Rifle Association.

They have charged that her work was directed by a former Russian lawmaker who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for his alleged ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Butina, who was arrested in July, was charged with conspiracy and acting as an unregistered foreign agent for Russia. Her lawyer has argued that Butina is a student interested in American politics and better U.S.-Russian relations.

The documents did not provide details about the resolution. However, for several weeks, prosecutors and Butina's lawyer have indicated in court papers that they were negotiating and may have been nearing a plea deal.

The charges against Butina were brought by federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., and her case is unrelated to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
