In a new filing asking a court not to dismiss his criminal case against Michael Sussmann, Special Counsel John Durham accuses the former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Sussmann of engaging in âpolitical deceitâ in his communications with the FBI, reports Just The News.
Sussmann, who has been charged with lying to the FBI, has requested the charge to be dropped, because, he says, his false claim that he wasnât working on behalf of a client when he delivered the bogus Trump dirt to federal agents (allegedly Trump had a secret communications channel with the Kremlin) was immaterial to the case and protected speech under the First Amendment.
FBI agents found no evidence that such a channel existed. And Sussmann was actually working on behalf of the Clinton campaign and a computer company executive when he approached the FBI.
