A meeting with an Anglo-Russian banker once falsely dubbed Crazy Miss Cokehead has been linked to the controversial dismissal of one of Donald Trump’s aides, sources said last night.

Svetlana Lokhova spoke with Michael Flynn at the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar, a gathering of former intelligence officials hosted at Cambridge University in 2014.

Moscow-born Miss Lokhova showed the President’s former national security adviser a number of historic Russian documents – including an ‘erotic postcard’ that Joseph Stalin sent to a woman in 1912.

Forced out: Michael Flynn with Donald Trump

It is claimed the two remained in email contact afterwards and swapped messages on an unclassified channel – Mr Flynn signed himself ‘General Misha’, Russian for Michael.

The meeting supposedly caused alarm among British and US intelligence officials who see it as evidence that Mr Flynn was behaving in a ‘worrisome’ manner.

The disclosure came as it emerged that Mr Flynn is willing to give evidence over Russia before Congress in exchange for immunity. However the Senate Intelligence Committee said that it was ‘not receptive’ to a deal.

Mr Flynn was forced out as Mr Trump’s national security adviser after less than a month for lying about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the US.

He is now offering to give potentially explosive evidence about whether or not the Trump team colluded with Russia to win the President the US elections.

Mr Flynn and Miss Lokhova, a Cambridge graduate and historian, are said to have been introduced to each other at the end of the dinner in Cambridge. At the time Mr Flynn was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Obama and had access to highly classified information and military secrets.

Svetlana Lokhova: Her meeting with Flynn alarmed security chiefs

What alarmed intelligence officials was that Miss Lokhova appears to have gained rare access to previously classified Soviet-era material in Moscow for her forthcoming book, The Guardian reported. Adding to the intrigue, Mr Flynn did not tell the US authorities about his meeting with Miss Lokhova, who used to work for the London branch of Russia’s state-controlled Sberbank.

Miss Lokhova has previously declined to comment on the claims.

In 2015 she won a £3.2million payout after winning an employment tribunal case in London against Sberbank CIB for sex discrimination and harassment.

Moscow offers Le Pen £2.6m to fund campaign France's far-Right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen asked for a £2.6million loan from a Russian bank to fund her election bid, leaked documents reveal. The revelation comes amid fears Russia is trying to influence the election. French news outlet Mediapart published two documents from Miss Le Pen’s party, National Front (FN), showing she agreed to borrow the money from Russia’s Strategy Bank last year.FN admitted the documents were true but accused Mediapart of ‘dishonesty’. A spokesman said the loan was ‘just a project, which was not followed up’, and that FN is launching legal action. French banks refuse to lend to Miss Le Pen’s controversial party. The 48-year-old received £9.5million in loans in 2014 from another Moscow bank, which has since been dissolved. Advertisement

The hearing was told her bosses branded her ‘crazy Miss Cokehead’ and forced her out of her £750,000 a year job as an equity saleswoman. Workmates falsely accused her of being a cocaine user and said she was hired only because of her looks.

The tribunal ruled that she had suffered ‘disgraceful’ harassment and victimisation.

Price Floyd, a spokesman for Mr Flynn, said the meeting between the him and Miss Lokhova was an ‘incidental contact’. Nobody from the FBI was available for comment.
