Special counsel John Durham suggested the Justice Department’s watchdog sat on key information about debunked Trump-Russia collusion claims, including a critical 2017 meeting it held with a defendant but only disclosed earlier this month.
The defendant, former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, was indictedfor allegedly lying to an FBI official in 2016 while pushing discredited claims of secret communications between a Russian bank and the Trump Organization.
Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.
In a Tuesday court filing, Durham said he only learned a week ago that Sussmann had a subsequent meeting in March 2017 with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who conducted his own investigation into Trump-Russia matters, including claims about former President Donald Trump and Alfa Bank.
