John Durham, who is prosecutor that was named to examine the origins of the Russia collusion investigation, is close to seeking an indictment from the grand against Michael Sussmann, a lawyer with ties to the Democratic Party, for lying to the FBI.
Durham is focused on Sussmann’s conversation on 9-19-2016 with an employee of the FBI about a connection with a Russian backed bank and servers at Trump’s Organization according to Fox News.
The reason for the timing of the potential indictment is the 5 year statue of limitation.
Lawyers for Sussmann, a partner at Perkins Coie, a law firm that has represented the Democratic National Committee, told Fox News that he is a “highly respected national security and cyber security lawyer” who “served in the Justice Department during both Republican and Democrat administrations.”
