A federal trial is set to begin for a lawyer for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign
FILE - Attorney Michael Sussmann leaves federal court in Washington, April 27, 2022. A federal trial begins May 16 for Sussmann, lawyer for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, who is accused of lying to the FBI as it investigated potential ties between Donald Trump and Russia in 2016.
Sussmann is accused of misleading the FBI's then-general counsel during a September 2016 meeting in which he presented research showing what he said might be a suspicious backchannel of communications between computer servers of the Trump Organization and Russia-based Alfa Bank. Durham's team says that had the FBI been told the truth, it would have factored into the bureau's assessment of the credibility of the Alfa Bank claims as it weighed whether to begin investigating. The FBI did look into the matter but ultimately found nothing suspicious.
Jurors will be selected in Washington's federal court on Monday. In a nod to the politically loaded nature of the case, prospective jurors are being asked questions such as whether they voted in 2016 and whether they or anyone they are close with was involved in investigating potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
