Former top Hillary Clinton lieutenant Robby Mook did his old boss few favors in court Friday, testifying that Clinton knew the Alfa-Bank claims lacked solid evidence while also reading into evidence a Clinton tweet thought to be barred from admission into the trial.

Mook testified in a federal court in Washington, D.C., in the trial of cybersecurity attorney Michael Sussmann. Sussmann is accused of lying to a top FBI official during a September 2016 meeting in which he made false claims about a purported backchannel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
