Ekaterina Zatuliveter fighting a deportation order is, after MI5 decided posed a threat to national security, was "very to yourself think" how the Office of the Mike Hancock MP you ran.

She was wearing short skirts and was nothing like "something geeky" students working for politicians, intern to a colleague.

Miss Zatuliveter's attorneys have denied but its first public statement that a "honey trap" sent from my Moscow to use their "feminine charm to infiltrate Parliament" was.

Meanwhile, it has shown that your former employer, Liberal MP for Portsmouth South, on parliamentary groups for Azerbaijan and Ukraine and Russia sat has Democrat and left after several former Eastern bloc countries with select of Defense Committee has.

Daily set Telegraph, that Miss work for Mr Hancock as an intern in November 2006 Zatuliveter, now 25, began to study at Bradford University shortly after their arrival in the UK for a master's degree.

She said: "I am originally Serbian and Russian as Ekaterina can unapproachable and think very of be." I didn't like your concept to me. She looked at me. I have not with her at all then.

"My first degree in politics, I was to see what it was like sour, interested in the Parliament and policy to work, but all my experience from it." I thought, was attractive and it was that the sale of short skirts wear all the time. I constantly felt like something holding you back.

"It was not what I thought it would be a Parliamentary Assistant." It seemed a political not like someone students. We are somewhat geeky and about things, anal in theorize we want to change the world. But was not like that.

"I was wondering how you got, where you got, there was no clear route and Hancock her much familiar." I always marveled. Everything went, was clearly very on top of things. "You search in mail, find his email, sorting, answering his phone, organized his social diary."

But Tessa Gregory of public interest lawyers who represent the alleged spies said: "our client has a honey trap painted Russian spy who used their feminine charm to infiltrate the Parliament." Nothing could be further from the truth. Is a well-trained, highly qualified woman the for a MP worked and obtained clearance by the normal operations. "It seems, has become the innocent victims of botched MI5 surgery."

Add Miss Zatuliveter itself in a statement: "MI5 have to do their job to protect the security of this country and I respect." I worked completely with you, if you me challenged. "I have nothing to hide and was only my work as a parliamentary researcher."
