Suspected Russian spy worked at US Embassy in Moscow

A woman suspected to be a Russian spy worked at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and had access to highly sensitive information for more than a decade before she was quietly let go in 2017, according to a report.

The Russian national, who was recruited by the U.S. Secret Service, had access to the agency's intranet and emails — including presidential and vice presidential schedules — until a periodic U.S. Department of State’s Regional Security Office security check in 2016, reported the Guardian on Thursday.

Through their probe, two security office investigators reportedly learned she frequently held unauthorized meetings with members of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, commonly known as the FSB.
