Clinton lawyer cleared of lying to FBI over Trump – By Anthony Zurcher (BBC News) / May 31, 2022
A lawyer with ties to the US Democratic party has been cleared of lying to the FBI during the frenzied final days of the 2016 presidential campaign.
Michael Sussman, 58, had been charged with lying to investigators and concealing his ties to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
At the time, Mr Sussman was looking into possible links between Russian officials and the Trump campaign.
The FBI looked into the allegations and found nothing suspicious.
A former federal prosecutor, Mr Sussman had been charged by special counsel John Durham, a US government attorney appointed by then-President Donald Trump’s justice department in 2019 to investigate potential illegalities in the government’s handling of investigations into Mr Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
