Special counsel John Durham wants a federal court to order Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, the Democratic National Committee, Fusion GPS, and Perkins Coie to hand over unredacted versions of withheld documents for the judge to decide whether their claims of attorney-client privilege hold up under scrutiny.
British ex-spy Christopher Steele created his now-discredited anti-Trump dossier after being hired by Fusion GPS, which was itself hired by Perkins Coie and Marc Elias, the general counsel for Clinton’s campaign. Sussmann and Elias worked for Perkins Coie at the time. Durham revealed he served a grand jury subpoena to Fusion GPS in March 2021, requesting “non-privileged records” involving Sussmann and Perkins Coie as well as correspondence related to Alfa-Bank, and he said he served a July 2021 subpoena to Fusion GPS asking for “non-privileged records” related to Fusion GPS being retained by the DNC and the Clinton campaign.
Durham said September 2021 subpoenas to Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS compelled them to produce the documents listed on privilege logs and that those records were handed over in redacted form. The special counsel said that in July 2016, Steele shared information he had gathered with an FBI agent, a DOJ official, and a State Department official. The special counsel said his team interviewed Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta, who apparently did not know Steele and Fusion GPS had been hired on its behalf.
