Judge Rejects Motion to Dismiss ‘Russia Collusion’ Hoax Case: Sussmann Trial Starts in MayJoel B. Pollak 13 Apr 2022
U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper denied a motion by Michael Sussmann on Wednesday to dismiss the charge he faces of lying to the FBI, confirming that the prominent “Russia collusion” trial will begin in May in federal court in D.C.
Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI when he said he was merely acting as a private citizen in reporting information that purported to connect then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia via Alfa Bank in 2016. The information was false, but formed part of the “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory that turned the political world upside-down, led the FBI to conduct improper surveillance of at least one Trump campaign aide, and undermined the legitimacy of the democratically-elected president.
In pre-trial motions, Special Counsel John H. Durham revealed evidence against Sussmann that also appeared to implicate the Hillary Clinton campaign, current National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and others in an alleged “conspiracy.”
