Alleged Russian agent Maria Butina is asking the judge to set a change of plea hearing, and pitched several days this week. "The parties have resolved this matter"
Butina pleaded not guilty at her arraignment in July. She was indicted on two counts: acting as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the US govt, and conspiring to do that. She's been in jail this whole time: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
So a "change of plea hearing" would indicate she's now going to plead guilty to something, but it may not be those two charges. We know from earlier court filings that she's been negotiating an agreement with the govt
Federal public defender AJ Kramer is still referenced in this latest request as "advisory counsel" and we don't have addl info on what exactly that means. But we may get more info soon: Butina's lawyers are okay unsealing the part of last week's hearing that was sealed
New: Maria Butina's change of plea hearing has been set for Wednesday (12/12) at 3:15pm
