Patrick Byrne, the pro-Trump former Overstock CEO admits funneling cash to his ex-lover Maria Butina
the glamorous spy elected to Russia's parliament this week
Maria Butina, the Russian agent convicted and jailed for trying to infiltrate political organizations in the United States, has been elected to the State Duma, the lower house of parliament in Russia, this week.
The 32-year-old won the seat for President Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party as a candidate in the rural region of Kirov Oblast.
It is the latest chapter in a political thriller of a life for the young Russian. She has played the role of the girlfriend to powerful men on the US Right and grabbed the headlines when she was arrested for spying. She was imprisoned before being deported to her homeland to a hero's welcome.
The Russian agent arrived in the US in the guise of a guns-rights activist and focussed on the leadership of the National Rifle Association (NRA) to meet high-profile Republican politicians and set up a "back-channel" of communications with the Kremlin, according to reports.
