BREAKING NEWS: Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann found NOT GUILTY for lying to the FBI in the Trump-Russia probe in John Durham's first prosecution
Article:
Former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann was found not guilty on Tuesday in the first trial of Special Counsel John Durham's probe into the federal government's actions investigating Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Sussmann was charged with making a false statement to the FBI.
It's the only case that has gone to trial in Durham's three-year inquiry into the origins of Robert Mueller's probe looking into allegations that Trump's 2016 campaign was aided to victory by Russia.
A jury rejected Durham's claim that the lawyer lied to federal agents when sending them dirt on Trump's alleged links to Moscow.
Prosecutors claimed that argument that Sussmann misrepresented himself to former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker, when he asked for a meeting in 2016 where he then presented alleged links between the Trump Organization and a top Russian bank.
Durham claimed the attorney posed himself as a concerned citizen when in reality he was working on behalf of Hillary Clinton and a tech executive named Rodney Joffe.
Sussmann's lawyers denied that he lied to the FBI, and argue that his alleged misstatement would not have had any bearing on the bureau's actions either way.
Durham had been appointed by Trump's Attorney General Bill Barr. His team indicted Sussmann in September 2021.
