One of Hugo's articles about current story (3)
I believe the answer is:
lie
'story' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'one of hugo's articles about current' is the wordplay.
'one of hugo's articles' becomes 'le' (definite article in French, eg for Victor Hugo).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'current' becomes 'i' (symbol for electric current).
'le' going around 'i' is 'LIE'.
(Other definitions for lie that I've seen before include "Pork pie" , "Story" , "Rest; falsehood" , "Rest; deception" , "Disinformation" .)
