Prosecutors set to call former FBI officials to the stand as week two of Sussmann trial begins
Fox News
The second week of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann’s trial will begin Monday morning, and prosecutors from Special Counsel John Durham’s team are expected to call former FBI officials to the stand for testimony.
Prosecutors could also call Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to the stand as a witness.
Sussmann has been charged with making a false statement to the FBI during a meeting he had in September 2016 with then-FBI General Counsel James Baker. Sussmann, during that meeting less than two months before the presidential election, brought "purported data and ‘white papers’ that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin.
