A former rep for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign who is accused of duping the FBI by hiding the reason he was sharing a tip about Donald Trump’s links to Russia pleaded not guilty on Friday to a false-statement charge.
Attorney Michael Sussmann was indicted Thursday by special counsel John Durham for presenting himself as a “good citizen” when he offered the tip to undermine Clinton’s political rival, according to court records. However, he was secretly working for Clinton, Durham alleges.
Sussmann did not answer reporter questions as he left a federal courthouse in Washington, DC.
The September 2016 tip involved an apparent connection between the Trump Organization and Moscow’s Alfa Bank and was reported by Slate just before the election. Further review by tech experts indicated the supposed smoking-gun digital fingerprints were likely just the result of junk email.
