A federal judge has ruled that, at Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann’s criminal trial next month, Special Counsel John Durham’s prosecution team will be barred from showing the jury tweets posted by Hillary Clinton and her 2016 campaign.
Sussmann is accused of one count of making false statements to the FBI in September 2016, toward the end of the presidential campaign. Durham has alleged that he lied to conceal the fact that he was working for the Clinton campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe (who is said to have been hoping for an important job in the anticipated Hillary Clinton administration) when Sussmann brought the Bureau telecommunications records that he contended showed that Donald Trump, then the GOP candidate, had established a communications back channel with Vladimir Putin.
