Russian Woman Who Drunk-Texted FBI Agent Pleads to Spying for FSB

U.S. prosecutors reached a plea deal with Russian national Nomma Zarubina, who admitted to making false statements to the FBI and naturalization fraud after allegedly concealing FSB ties; in exchange, prostitution-related charges were dropped, and she faces up to five years on each remaining count with sentencing set for June 11. The case was partly sealed under the Classified Information Procedures Act, and filings describe her detention for persistent intoxicated texts to an FBI agent, with comparisons drawn to prior influence operations involving Maria Butina.
