State Dept official Andrea Thompson, in charge of US arms control negotiations with Moscow, didn't disclose that she & her husband had years-long friendship with Paul Erickson, ex boyfriend of convicted unregistered Russian agent Maria Butina by @joshrogin washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
Paul Erickson officiated June 2017 wedding of Andrea Thompson undersecretary of state for arms control & international security affairs and took $100,000 from her husband - Thompson never disclosed these ties to her superiors until approached by @joshrogin
Thompson should have disclosed these connections voluntarily, since she holds top security clearances & worked for decades as a US intelligence officer... failure to report the info was an intelligence vulnerability that could have been used against her
