The American Report By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones
Special Counsel John Durham’s first trial in his multi-year investigation into the origins of the hoax Trump Russian collusion investigation begins on Monday, May 16, with defendant Michael Sussman on trial for one count of lying to the FBI.
Sussman is the former partner at law firm Perkins Coie who in September 2016 met with FBI General Council James Baker. Both the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign and the DNC retained Perkins Coie for the 2016 presidential election season. During his meeting, Sussman presented so-called ‘evidence’ to Baker and the FBI that supposedly proved the existence of communications between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank.
Later, the FBI determined that there was no evidence that Trump was communicating with Alfa Bank.
The question before the court is whether or not Sussman was working on behalf of the Clinton campaign when he met with Baker?
