FSB claims he has been under survellaince for a long time, and that he was busted in the act of espionage.
The guy could have been operating as a NOC spy. Something put him on FSB radar - could be his ex-military background, the fact that he strangely seems to make many trips to Russia, and other factors which are unknown at this time.
Of course, there is the possibility he is totally innocent.
Either way, Trump is basically going to do whatever Putin orders him to.
