Hillary Clinton Campaign Lawyer Pleads Not Guilty After Lying to Feds – Faces up to Five Years in Prison
Hillary Clinton-linked Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann on Friday pleaded not guilty to one count of making a false statement to a federal agent.
Sussmann was released on his own recognizance on a $100,000 bond and a judge set a September 22 court date for a status conference.
Michael Sussmann was indicted on Thursday for lying to the FBI about not representing “any client” when he acted as a running dog and tipped off the bureau (James Baker) about the Trump Organization secretly communicating with Russian Alfa Bank.
According to a debunked story published by far-left Slate, Trump set up a secret server at Trump Tower on 5th Avenue to “communicate privately with a Putin-tied Russian bank called Alfa Bank.”
The FBI began investigating the Trump Organization’s “back-channel” with the Russian-owned bank after Sussmann ran to the FBI and presented data files to back up the claims.
