A gun rights activist and alleged Russian agent has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors, according to several news outlets.
Defense attorneys and federal prosecutors indicated the case against Maria Butina is headed to a plea hearing.
“The parties have resolved this matter, and the Defendant Maria Butina remains in custody,” they wrote.
Butane was charged in July with conspiracy and acting as the agent of a federal government.
Both parties requested a plea hearing this week.
More details are expected to emerge from the hearing.
