The Russian escort who claimed she had secret recordings that prove Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election revealed Monday she had handed over all the evidence to the Russian oligarch on the tapes after he promised her a “little something” to keep quiet.
Anastasia Vashukevich, known as the “sex huntress,” made the claim during an appearance in court in the Thai city of Pattaya Monday, insisting she had turned over all her material to Oleg Deripaska, whose conversations about election meddling she claimed to have secretly recorded while providing escort services to him.
Vashukevich, who also goes by the name Nastya Rybka, said she had promised Deripaska she would no longer comment publicly about the tapes.
“He promised me a little something already,” Vashukevich said. “If he do that then there will be no problem, but if he don’t ...” she said, before shrugging and smiling, according to an AP report.
She also shrugged and smiled when asked if she had kept her own copies of the information. Asked what the material revealed, she said, “You’d have to ask Deripaska.”
