Britain's former US ambassador Kim Darroch was investigated over an affair with a CNN journalist amid claims he passed White House secrets to her
 [MAIL] Britain's former ambassador to the United States was investigated over an alleged affair with a journalist, it was claimed last night.Kim Darroch is said to have faced claims of passing White House secrets to former CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski. The married 66-year-old was later cleared of wrongdoing following a probe by the Department of Justice. No "wrongdoing" if you're on an officially sanctioned mission. Suspicion among US officials was reportedly raised after a series of articles by Miss Kosinski, 46, detailing highly-sensitive information about the Trump administration. Lord Darroch was reportedly suspected of tipping off Miss Kosinski about plans to make CIA director Mike Pompeo the Secretary of State, which did later happen. Miss Kosinski is also said to have learned about Mr Pompeo’s plans for a trip to North Korea to push for the return of three US citizens. No story was reported but the White House became more interested in Miss Kosinski. She also apparently raised eyebrows when tipped off about US plans for tough sanctions against Russia. The classified proposals had reportedly been discussed in private with allies in France, Germany and the UK before being announced on April 6. A source told The Sun that Miss Kosinski ‘knew about these sanctions before they were announced’. She also caused concern after learning about a behind-closed-doors feud between Donald Trump and the US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley.
