Just found A Connection. Haven’t seen it noted anywhere.
A dual US-UK citizen, Fiona Hill advised Donald Trump’s White House on Russia as relations between Moscow and Washington soured over allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections. She left her role in June this year, one week before the phone call between Mr Trump and Mr Zelensky took place.
She was recruited by KT McFarland and Michael Flynn, two former Trump national security advisers who left the administration before she had taken up her post. Mr Flynn was convicted of lying to the FBI about contacts with the Russian ambassador in connection with the Mueller investigation.
Prior to taking up her post at the White House, Ms Hill was well known for her hawkish views on Russia, having written extensively on the subject and authored a biography of Vladimir Putin. Many colleagues expressed surprise that she took up a post within the Trump government. She had previously held a position at the Brookings Institution think-tank in Washington and, before that, served as a US intelligence officer between 2006 and 2009. https://www.ft.com/content/cefa2a90-e42e-11e9-9743-db5a370481bc
