This"led the FBI General Counsel to understand that Sussmann was acting as a good citizen merely passing along information, not as a paid advocate or political operative," Durham's indictment alleges. While the charge against Sussmann is narrow, through their 27-page indictment and hundreds of pages of court filings in the months since Sussmann was indicted, Durham's prosecutors have sought to allege a broader potential conspiracy regarding efforts by Clinton's campaign and other political operatives to spread unverified allegations about possible ties between Trump, his campaign and the Russian government.
On the contrary, according to Bosworth, Sussmann sought the meeting to give the bureau a heads up on a story the New York Times was working on about the Alfa Bank data at the time, so it wouldn't be caught"flat-footed."Special counsel John Durham, the prosecutor appointed to investigate potential government wrongdoing in the early days of the Trump-Russia probe, leaves federal court in Washington, D.C., May 16, 2022.
