Clinton campaign lawyer Sussmann files motion to dismiss Durham prosecution
Fox News
Attorneys for Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann filed a motion Thursday to dismiss the case against him in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation, claiming a case of "extraordinary prosecutorial overreach."
Sussmann has been charged as part of Durham’s investigation with making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.
Durham’s indictment against Sussmann, says he told then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016, less than two months before the 2016 presidential election, that he was not doing work "for any client" when he requested and held a meeting in which he presented "purported data and 'white papers' that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin.
