Charge: Clinton, DNC break pledge to stop lying about Trump ‘dossier’

Paul Bedard - 1h ago

 

In a new bid to hide their attorney’s efforts in the disputed Trump-Russian ‘dossier,’ the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party have already violated a two-month-old promise to stop lying about their efforts, according to charges filed with the Federal Election Commission.

The complaint shared with Secrets focuses on the move by the DNC and Hillary for America campaign to claim an attorney-client privilege in shielding work done by their law firm Perkins Coie and former partner Michael Sussman from Special Counsel John Durham.

That appeared to openly violate a pledge both made to the FEC to stop claiming attorney-client privilege over the over $1 million they paid the law firm for work done by Fusion GPS on the the so-called “Steele Dossier” and accept the election agency’s finding that the work was for opposition research not “legal advice and services.”

 

In giving that pledge to the FEC, the Clinton campaign and DNC paid a combined $113,000 fine to make the case go away.

 

But in renewing the claim that their relationship with Perkins Coie is protected by an attorney-client relationship, the campaign and party face having the FEC reopen their investigation and level even greater fines.
