Svetlana Lokhova filed suit Thursday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, seeking more than $25 million in damages.
A Russian-born British scholar is suing an alleged FBI informant and four news outlets for defamation for allegedly linking her to Russian efforts to influence President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
Over time, as public attention focused on links between the Trump campaign and Russia — and Flynn was fired 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, the suit says.
The suit complains about an array of news articles and reports, including some published by British newspapers such as the Financial Times, The Times of London and The Guardian, but those papers were not named as defendants. Some outlets, like the New York Times and MSNBC, were named as defendants despite never publishing any report mentioning Lokhova.
Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos says Halper offered him $3,000 to write an academic paper about a gas field in the Mediterranean and conducted an unusual meeting with him at a London bar in September 2016, where an unidentified female companion of Halper was “very flirty” and attempted to “seduce” him. Papadopoulos has said he believes the woman was a CIA operative or agent, possibly also with ties to Turkish intelligence.
