New Durham Filing: Clinton Campaign paid to 'infiltrate' Trump Tower, White House servers to link Trump to Russia
15 Feb 2022 2:32 pm
Needless to say, Fox News’ own coverage of what it describes as a “massive scandal” has not only been largely exaggerated but has run the gamut from disingenuous to entirely false.
Durham, who was assigned by then-Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to investigate the probe of Trump and his allies’ ties to Russia, added a pleading on Friday to his case against Michael Sussmann, a lawyer with Democratic ties. The special counsel has accused Sussmann of lying during a September 2016 meeting with the FBI over Trump’s potential Russia links.
While Durham’s filing was essentially about possible conflicts of interest, the prosecutor also “slipped in a few extra sentences that set off a furor among right-wing outlets about purported spying” on Trump, as New York Times reporter Charlie Savage explained on Monday.
