By Ben Feuerherd and Bruce Golding, NY Post, May 17, 2022:

WASHINGTON — Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann lied to the FBI in a bid to use it as a “political tool” for an “October surprise” against Donald Trump before the 2016 election, a member of special counsel John Durham’s team told jurors on Tuesday.

Sussmann, 57, ignored proper protocol and instead reached out directly to a friend — then-FBI general counsel James Baker — to hand over since-debunked Internet data that purportedly linked a Trump Organization computer server to Russia’s Alfa Bank, prosecutor Deborah Brittain Shaw said.

“It was a plan to create an October surprise on the eve of the presidential election,” she said.

Sussmann is accused of misleading Baker into believing he was merely acting as a “good citizen” because he knew that if the bureau knew he was working for Clinton’s campaign, it “might not meet with him right away, let alone open an investigation,” Shaw said during opening statements at his trial in Washington, DC, federal court.

“He told a lie that was designed to achieve a political end, a lie that was designed to inject the FBI into a presidential election,” she said.
