Former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann gave a triumphant statement from the steps of a Washington, D.C., courthouse on Tuesday after being acquitted of lying to the FBI.
Sussmann worked as an attorney at Perkins Coie in 2016 when it took on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign as a client.
Special counsel John Durham indicted Sussmann last year on a single charge of lying to the FBI about his reasons for passing later-debunked claims of a Trump-Alfa-Bank connection onto the bureau.
