Special counsel John Durham's team presented evidence suggesting Michael Sussmann billed HillaryClinton’s 2016 presidential team for the thumb drives he used to push now-discredited Trump-Russia allegations in 2016.
Sussmann, a former Perkins Coie lawyer who represented the Democratic National Committee when it was hacked in 2016, is on trial after being charged with lying to the FBI about whom he was representing when, in September 2016, he presented internet data that suggested a now-discredited link between former President Donald Trump and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
The disbursement report listed the client as Hillary for America, stated “General Political Advice” was the purpose, and described it as “Sussmann Purchase of new single use flash drives for secure sharing of files 9/13/16.” Arsenault put together other records aiming to demonstrate that Sussmann went to the FBI on behalf of the Clinton campaign, including a Perkins billing chart laying out her findings related to Sussmann billing time to the Clinton campaign.
Baker testified last week he was “100% confident” that Sussmann claimed he was not there on behalf of a client. Records dated Sept. 19 listed “Taxi ; Attend meeting at FBI” for $10, “Taxi from FBI to office; Attend meeting at FBI” for $8, and “Taxi from lunch to FBI; Attend meeting at FBI” for $10, all billed to Perkins. Arsenault later told Keilty that “these business expenses are exclusively for the taxis” and not specifically related to the FBI meeting.
Keilty asked Charnov if Sept. 18 was anywhere on his chart, and he said it was not. The Durham prosecutor then displayed Sussmann’s text that evening to Sussmann in which he asked to set up a meeting the next day and claimed he wasn’t coming in on behalf of a client.
