Boris Johnson is facing questions about the government’s links to key individuals named by the FBI in its Trump-Russia investigation, following the emergence of a photo of him with Joseph Mifsud, the “London professor” with high-level Kremlin contacts.

The foreign secretary is facing accusations of a potential security breach following the emergence of the photo of him with Mifsud, whose identity emerged as part of investigations into alleged links between Donald Trump’s election campaign and Russia.

This development comes less than a week after Johnson denied meeting the professor, and at a time when concern is growing about possible Russian interference in the Brexit campaign, in which the foreign secretary played a crucial role.

Last week, the Observer reported that Mifsud had told colleagues he was planning to meet Johnson “to discuss Brexit”.

Intriguingly, the photograph also presents new evidence of links to a further key individual named in the FBI documents.

On Friday, the New York Times identified a woman in the documents whom Mifsud introduced to a Trump campaign operative, George Papadopoulos, as “Putin’s niece”. The New York Times named her as Olga Polonskaya, 30, from St Petersburg, the former manager of a wine distribution company. The FBI documents state that she has high-level connections to the Russian government.

And she is also a contact of Singh’s, though he had no idea of her connection to the Trump-Russia investigation until told by the Observer. He said he had met her at Link Campus University in Rome, where Mifsud was based. “I had no idea she called herself ‘Putin’s niece’! She was just a normal student. Very nice. An ordinary girl.” He said she had rung him “about two and a half months ago” and had asked to meet.

Feels like sacrilege, but I still can't shake off just how shithouse Mooy was on the weekend. Such a gun normally, but something has been NQR when he's pulled on the yellow jersey lately, culminating in Honduras where he seemed to destroy our momentum at every opportunity.
Counting on the real Aaron Mooy in Sydney.

Yep. Absolutely love the bloke, but he was dreadful. Wouldn't be surprised if the schedule of the last two years is taking its toll. 45+ games last season in the Champo while flying halfway around the world and back every international break, the Confeds Cup over the so called 'off-season' and now the demands of the Premier League. It's quite the change from the 28 game A-League season to which he was accustomed.
