Federal prosecutors say Mariia Butina, facing charges "for her role in a covert Russian influence operation" should be detained until her trial. She is "an extreme risk of flight." 
Interesting: Prosecutors say Butina didn't think much of her relationship with the American they described in the indictment as Person 1. "She appears to treat that relationship as simply a necessary aspect of her activities."
DOJ says accused Russian agent Mariia Butina, who they said sought to set up a secret back channel between Moscow and the Republican party, "appears to have ties to Russian intelligence services," including several FSB officers.
DOJ: Butina sent Torshin a photo of herself near the U.S. Capitol during President Trump's inauguration. He replied: "You're a daredevil girl!"
DOJ says the FBI "uncovered electronic communications revealing Butina's involvement in the planning of the covert influence operation with U.S. Person 1."
ouch
This filing is DOJ's most direct implication that Butina's influence operation had knowing help from an American. DOJ says Person 1 "was instrumental in aiding her covert influence operation, despite knowing its connections to the Russian Official."
The filing here is here. Thanks, @big_cases -> assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4609…
