Intelligence scholar sues Cambridge academic, U.S. news outlets over reports on Flynn links

 

A Russian-born British scholar is suing an alleged FBI informant and four news outlets for allegedly defaming her by linking her to Russian efforts to influence President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

 

Svetlana Lokhova filed the suit Thursday in federal court in Alexandria, Va., seeking more than $25 million in damages from longtime University of Cambridge academic Stefan Halper as well as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post and MSNBC.

 

Lokhova alleges that Halper and the news outlets conspired to spread a false narrative that she approached then-Defense Intelligence Agency Director Michael Flynn on behalf of Russian intelligence at a seminar dinner in England in 2014 and that Flynn and Lokhova had an intimate relationship.

 

Over time, as public attention focused on links between the Trump campaign and Russia — and after Flynn was fired from his role as national security adviser by Trump in February 2017, individuals hostile to Trump and Flynn seized on the alleged connection to Lokhova as evidence that Flynn had been compromised by Russia, she alleges in the suit.

 

The suit, filed for Lokhova by Charlottesville, Va.,-based attorney Steven Biss, features some unusually colorful language for a federal court pleading.
