Cambridge academic Stefan Halper, who was de facto outed as an FBI informant, is being sued for allegedly spreading lies to media about a supposed relationship between retired Gen. Michael Flynn and Halper’s Russian-born former colleague, Svetlana Lokhova.
Lokhova is a Cambridge graduate and UK-based historian with a focus on documenting Russian espionage during the Soviet era.
