Former FBI general counsel James Baker is “100% confident” that cybersecurity attorney Michael Sussmann told him during a 2016 meeting that Sussmann was representing himself only and hid his ties to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.
Baker is a key witness in Sussmann’s trial over prosecutors’ allegation that Sussmann lied to the FBI about his motivations for requesting the September 2016 meeting with Baker. Sussmann is accused of hiding his clients, the Clinton campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe, from Baker when Sussmann asked the FBI official to pass along false allegations of the Trump Organization keeping a backchannel with Russia’s Alfa-Bank during the 2016 meeting.
