2. K&R... Paul Erickson, boyfriend of alleged Russian spy Maria Butina, indicted on fraud charges

WASHINGTON – Paul Erickson, a Republican operative who dated a woman accused of spying on the U.S. on behalf of Russia, was indicted on federal charges of wire fraud and money laundering.

Erickson was indicted on Tuesday in South Dakota in what prosecutors described as a two-decades-long scheme to attract investors then use the cash to enrich himself.

He pleaded not guilty Wednesday to 11 counts and was released on bond.

Erickson, 56, made headlines due to his relationship with Maria Butina, who was arrested last year and accused of failing to register as a foreign agent for Russia.

Butina pleaded guilty in December to conspiring to act as an agent for the Kremlin without registering in the United States.
