“In late 2015, early 2016, spying began on the Trump campaign. That information leaked that led to what they considered to be legal spying that began, that they have acknowledged that they started doing at the end of July.”
'In early 2016, as Flynn's role advising the Trump campaign became known, Lokhova said she received an invitation out of the blue to a private dinner party with Halper. The professor is widely reported to be a confidential source in the FBI's original probe into Russian meddling'
"During the 2016 campaign, Halper reached out to Trump campaign aides including Carter Page, George Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis. Halper is at the centre of a whistleblower complaint that alleges government contractor abuses, and excessive payments with taxpayer dollars'
I refused to meet Halper: invitation was 'very unusual because Stefan Halper and I, despite being part of the same group, and meeting pretty much in a public forum, we've had no personal contact at all. Halper was an obnoxious academic who absolutely hated all Russians,"
'In 2016 Halper told the FBI that he witnessed concerning interactions between Russian academic, Svetlana Lokhova, and Flynn at the February 2014 seminar dinner. This suspicion – without any proof – was then leaked to papers in London and eventually discussed in the U.S. media.
