The man was convicted of tryin to sell stolen material to the KGB. Flynn partnered with him to try to sell mind-reading gear to the U.S. government.

Last year, Flynn’s private consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, started collaborating with Boston-based Brainwave Science to help facilitate the sales. One of Brainwave Science’s principals is Subu Kota, who pleaded guilty in 1996 of trying to sell material to the KGB.

“During years of federal court proceedings, prosecutors presented evidence they said showed that between 1985 and 1990 Kota met repeatedly with a KGB agent and was part of a spy ring that made hundreds of thousands of dollars selling U.S. missile defense technology to Russian spies,” Bloomberg reports. “Kota denied being part of a spy ring, reached a plea agreement in the biotech case and admitted to selling a sketch of a military helicopter to his co-defendant, who was later convicted of being a KGB operative.”

Trump spokesman Jason Miller told Bloomberg that Flynn and Kota have never met, but Brainwave officials say Flynn and representatives from the company met at least 10 times. Flynn’s role was to try and sell Brainwave’s controversial technology, which involves a “helmet-like headpiece fitted with sensors… said to read a subject’s brainwaves in an attempt to detect information.”
