#SussmannTrial Day 9 begins in speculative uncertainty with the defense pulling former New York Times reporter Eric Lichtblau from its witness list and hinting that Sussmann himself may take the stand as soon as today, Thursday.
Sussmann, an attorney who represented the #Clinton campaign, DNC, and other Democratic Party organizations, is accused of lying about his affiliations in Sept. 2016 when delivering data purporting a “secret” link between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank. #SussmannTrial

Former DNC/Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann is on trial for allegedly lying to the FBI when he delivered data, documents purporting a secret server channel between the Trump Organization and Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank. #SussmannTrial

#SussmannTrial Day 6: #Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann’s trial for allegedly lying to the FBI about concocted links between the Trump Organization and a Kremlin-linked bank prior to the 2016 election continues Monday in Washington, DC. A recap: theepochtimes.com/former-fbi-off…
Ten witnesses have testified: two FBI agents, a Neustar executive, DNC attorney Debbie Fine, FusionGPS’s Laura Seago, former Clinton general counsel Marc Elias, former FBI general counsel James Baker, former Clinton manager Robby Mook, two retired CIA agents. #SussmannTrial
Among disclosures in the #SussmannTrial is the Clinton campaign solicited media to publish the allegations. On Friday, Mook confirmed Hilary Clinton personally approved, spurring former President Donald Trump to ask, “Where do I get my reputation back?” theepochtimes.com/trump-after-te…
#SussmannTrial Day 5: The first week of the anticipated two-week trial of #Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann concludes Friday with former FBI general counsel James A. Baker on the stand. Here’s a recap: theepochtimes.com/fbi-lawyer-say…
Baker is a key witness in the case against Sussmann, who is charged with lying to the FBI when he delivered thumb drives, documents to Baker alleging “a secret server connection” between the Trump Organization and Kremlin-liked Alfa Bank. #SussmannTrial
But Baker is not a “friendly” witness for Special Prosecutor John #Durham’s team. He'd worked with Sussmann at the DOJ and they maintain a friendship. On the stand, he’s repeatedly referenced his respect for him as a cyber/national security expert. #SussmannTrial
#SussmannTrial Day 4: Proceedings in former #Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann’s trial are set to begin Thursday at 9 a.m. in the E. Barnett Prettyman US District Courthouse in Washington DC where they ended Wednesday with former FBI general counsel James Baker on the stand.
Baker is expected to testify likely through the morning regarding his Sept. 19, 2016 meeting with Sussmann when the defendant gave him two thumb drives and several “white papers” purporting a link between the #Trump Organization and Russia-based Alfa Bank. #SussmannTrial
Also on tap to testify Thursday are former FBI officials Bill Priestap and Trisha Anderson, who Baker conferred with after meeting with Sussmann. Priestap was Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and Anderson was deputy general counsel of national security. #SussmannTrial
#SussmanTrial Day 3: On tap to testify Wednesday: Clinton campaign attorney Debbie Fine, FusionGPS technician Laura Seago, Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias, former DNC employee Tom McMahon and former FBI general counsel James A. Baker.
Prosecutor Jonathon Algor questioning Fine, an attorney who now works for the Open Society Institution. She was a deputy campaign counsel. Asked if she could explain the campaign's leadership structure, she said: "No." #SussmannTrial
Algor is asking Fine about what "opposition research" is. "I conducted research to support the campaign. I am not comfortable discussing what that was used for," Fine said. #SussmannTrial
Deliberations begin Tuesday morning at the E. Barnett Prettyman U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., in Michael #Sussmann's trial for allegedly lying to the FBI about the #Trump Organization's purported ties to a Russian Bank.
Opening statements will begin shortly after Judge Christopher Cooper convenes the trial about 9 a.m. Sussmann and his defense team arrived at 8 a.m. Special Prosecutor John #Durham and his cadre of federal lawyers arrived about 8:30 a.m., so all should be set for 9 a.m. start.
