Clinton campaign seeks to block Durham access to Perkins Coie documents

 

The committee for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign is seeking to block Special Counsel John Durham from obtaining certain documents related to law firm Perkins Coie and its work with the campaign, the Democratic National Committee and opposition research firm Fusion GPS.

 

In a filing late Thursday, Hillary for America (HFA), the principal campaign committee for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, argued that certain privileged documents should be withheld based on attorney-client privilege.

 

Durham’s team, earlier this month, had sought the production of documents related to the work and requested the non-party entities provide "further justification for the assertion of their privilege."

 

Hillary For America and the DNC are the holders of the privileges at issue, according to the filing.

 

Perkins Coie is the law firm that the DNC and the Clinton campaign used to fund the now-infamous anti-Trump dossier. The unverified dossier was authored by Christopher Steele, an ex-British intelligence officer, and commissioned by Fusion GPS.

 

To support the opposition to compel and justify the assertion of attorney-client privilege, Hillary For American provided declarations from Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta.

 

Mook, in a declaration filed in court late Thursday, said that in April 2015, Hillary for America "engaged Marc Elias and the law firm of Perkins Coie as its general counsel."

The #US bears unshirkable responsibility for the outbreak of the #Ukraine crisis as it broke its promise and continuously pushed for #NATO’s eastward expansion.
