WASHINGTON — Sexy red-headed Russian spy Anna Chapman came allegedly close to bedding a member of President Obama's cabinet as part of a "honey trap," according to a top US intelligence official.

In a new documentary, FBI counter-intelligence chief Frank Figliuzzi claimed Chapman got close enough to enacting the plot, London's Daily Mail reported.

"We were becoming very concerned,' he told the BBC. "They were getting close enough to a sitting US cabinet member that we thought we could no longer allow this to continue."

The cabinet member has not been identified.

Figliuzzi said the fear was that Chapman was close to seducing a sitting member of the Obama administration, prompting the FBI to arrest 10 people connected to the spy ring in June 2010.

Figliuzzi told the BBC documentary. which aired in Britain on Monday night, that Chapman got "closer and closer to higher and higher ranking leadership ... she got close enough to disturb us."

"I think part of her value was indeed her ability to be engaging, charismatic and I think to that extent she might have been viewed ... as a potential honey trap," he added. "She was getting closer and closer to higher and higher ranking leadership."

Chapman was deported to Russia two years ago following her arrest.

Chapman wore a pair of sleek black pants and slim-fitting black leather jacket. With her pouty expression and her auburn hair curled into ringlets, Chapman looked almost identical to Johansson as The Black Widow.
