JUST IN: A lawyer whose firm represented Hillary Clinton's campaign during the 2016 presidential election was indicted by special counsel John Durham on a single charge of making a false statement to the FBI.
Michael Sussmann, an attorney for the Perkins Coie law firm who previously represented the Democratic National Committee following the hacking of its servers by Russia during the 2016 campaign, is accused of lying"about the capacity in which he was providing allegations to the FBI" when he met with a top lawyer from the bureau in September 2016 and provided him information about potential ties between a Russian bank and computer servers in the Trump Organization.
They allege instead that Sussmamn intentionally misled the FBI general counsel because he was acting at the time on behalf of an unnamed tech executive, an"U.S. internet company" and Hillary Clinton's Presidential Campaign.Prior to his indictment Thursday, Sussmann's attorneys provided a statement to ABC News maintaining his innocence.
"We are confident that if Mr. Sussmann is charged, he will prevail at trial and vindicate his good name," they added.
