A Russian-born academic accused of being a Kremlin operative claims she was "Used" to smear former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn over an unplanned contact they had at a 2014 dinner at the University of Cambridge, England when Flynn was the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Obama.
38-year-old Svetlana Lokhova met Flynn at the February 2014 Cambridge dinner organized by Sir Richard Dearlove - a former head of MI6 who was launching an organization called the Cambridge Security Initiative, according to the BBC. Also part of the organizing group was alleged American spy Stefan Halper, a longtime spook and then-Cambridge professor emeritus widely reported to have infiltrated the Trump campaign and spied on several aides during the 2016 US election.
"General Flynn was the guest of honor and he sat on one side of the table in the middle. I sat on the opposite side of the table to Flynn next to Richard Dearlove because I was the only woman at dinner, and it's a British custom that the only woman gets to sit next to the host," Lokhova told Fox News, who added that she has never been alone with Flynn.
BBC. Lokhova's contact with Flynn at the dinner was used in several 2017 media reports to suggest that he had been "Gotten to" by the Russians, while pundits and social media commentators suggested she was a Kremlin "Honeypot."
"I'm not a Russian spy and I have never worked for the Russian government," said Lokhova, adding "I believe that General Flynn was targeted and I was used to do it."
In December, 2016 - weeks after President Trump won the US election, event organizers Dearlove and Halper suddenly resigned from their positions at the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar - an academic forum on the Western Spy World - due to what Halper called "Unacceptable Russian influence" on the group.
16. - Svetlana Lokhova April 7, 2019 I also confirmed that Gen Flynn DIA liaison Dan O'Brien had been on the record with WaPo to confirm he left 2014 dinner with Flynn and nothing happened.
