Ex-special counsel Robert Mueller for three years investigated claims that the Trump campaign had illegally coordinated with Russian agents to influence the 2016 election. Mueller eventually concluded that no such evidence exists.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Michael Sussmann, who previously worked for the Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie, approached the FBI, under what Durham alleges were false pretenses, with information on potential Trump\/Russia collusion. Sussmann took what he said could be evidence of coordination between Trump Tower in New York and Alfa-Bank, one of the largest private banks in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The CIA, identified in the filing as \u201cAgency-2,\u201d knew in 2017 that at least part of the information that Sussmann had given to federal investigators was not \u201ctechnically plausible\u201d and was \u201cuser created,\u201d according to Durham\u2019s Friday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/570091923\/70-Memorandum-in-Opposition-Re-Sussmann-Motion-in-Limine-by-USA\">filing<\/a>.

The former Perkins Coie attorney\u2019s trial is set to begin next month.<\/p>\n<p>In a February filing, Durham said that Sussmann purposely misrepresented to the FBI his reason for meeting with the agency\u2019s general counsel, James Baker, about the information Sussmann had. At the time in 2016, Perkins Coie had taken on the presidential campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a client. Durham said in his filing that Sussmann, while claiming to the FBI that he was unattached, actually approached the agency \u201con behalf of at least two specific clients,\u201d one of which was \u201cthe Hillary Clinton Campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other party Sussmann allegedly represented was Rodney Joffe, head of the tech company Neustar.
