A Mexican has been arrested in the US city of Miami for spying on "a US government source" on behalf of Russia, the Department of Justice alleged Tuesday.
US intelligence officials have identified
Russia as a central spying threat to the country, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation last year found that
Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential
election -- a finding that President
Donald Trump has repeatedly dismissed.
According to court documents cited in a Department of Justice (DOJ) news release, a
Russian government official recruited Fuentes last year and told him to rent a specific property in Miami-Dade County, not using his own name.
