Michael Sussmann’s cozy relationship with the FBI was revealed during his two-week trial and in a new letter by congressional Republicans, shedding new light on the HillaryClinton campaign lawyer’s close ties to the bureau.
Sussmann, a former Perkins Coie lawyer who represented the Democratic National Committee when it was hacked in 2016, was acquitted by a jury this week after being charged with lying to the FBI about whom he was representing when, in September 2016, he pushed false allegations of a secret back channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
“We have been informed that former Perkins Coie partner Michael Sussmann had access to this Secure Work Environment, and during the course of his recent trial, it was disclosed he had special badge access to FBI headquarters.” “The FBI complies with the law and security policies and works with the Department of Justice to serve classified, Court-authorized legal process necessary to support national security investigations,” an FBI spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.
Prosecutors repeatedly pointed to a text message that Sussmann sent Baker the night before their meeting, in which they said he put the lie to the FBI down in writing. Baker said he did not find this text until this March — nearly six months after the Durham indictment. Baker testified at trial,"I was willing to meet with Michael alone because I had high confidence in him and trust. … I think I would have made a different assessment if he said he had been appearing on behalf of a client."
Sussmann replied: “I have a comment/concern regarding the first sentence and have suggested a revised first sentence below. The draft you sent says only that the FBI is aware of media reports; it does not say that the FBI is aware of the intrusion that the DCCC reported. Indeed, it refers only to a ‘possible’ cyber intrusion and in that way undermines what the DCCC said in its statement .
