Former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann has been acquitted of lying to the FBI when he pushed what proved to be unfounded suspicions linking former President Donald Trump to a Russian bank ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
There were indications all along that Sussmann was seeing a very different reception from the court than those brought to trial under former special counsel Robert Mueller and being found not guilty will only add to the speculation that the odds were in his favor. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, presided over the trial.
He was charged with making a false statement to the FBI in September 2016 when he said he was not working on behalf of any client when he tipped the bureau off.
