United States v. Michael Sussman, Defendant;Trump Was Right! The LEFT Was Spying On Him
Trump Was Right! The LEFT Was Spying On Him
Friday, February 18, 2022
WASHINGTON, DC (February 18, 2022)--Justice Department special counsel John Durham is rejecting allegations that he has sought to politicize the high-
profile prosecution of a Washington lawyer charged as part of his investigation into the FBI's Trump-Russia probe. "Defense counsel has presumed the Government's bad faith and asserts that the Special Counsel's Office intentionally sought to politicize this case, inflame media coverage, and taint the jury pool," Durham's filing stated. "That is simply not true," reported NPR today.
Former Attorney General William Barr appointed Durham to investigate the origins of the FBI's Trump-Russia probe, during the Trump administration.
Sussmann, a Washington attorney who worked at a firm with longstanding ties to the Democratic Party, has pleaded not guilty to a single false statements charge stemming from Durham's investigation, for allegedly lying to the FBI in a conversation ahead of the 2016 election about possible ties between Donald Trump and Russia.
