Butina pleads guilty to conspiracy as secret Russian agent
Russian gun rights activist Maria Butina pleads guilty to conspiracy to act as an unregistered foreign agent in a deal with prosecutors. She acknowledged seeking unofficial back channels with American conservatives through contacts with the NRA and Paul Erickson, while working under Alexander Torshin. Prosecutors say the case ties to attempts to influence U.S. politics during the 2016 campaign. She faces up to five years in prison with possible deportation after sentencing.
