Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann won’t try to prove the explosive claims he passed to the FBI that alleged former President Donald Trump had a secret back channel to a Russian bank, according to a court filing Monday.Sussman’s defense lawyer “stated that he will not seek to affirmatively prove the existence of a link between Alfa Bank and the Trump campaign,” Washington DC federal Judge Christopher Cooper wrote in a six-page ruling.The defense move, announced during a pretrial hearing Thursday, came after Special Counsel John Durham said he wouldn’t seek to disprove the data Sussmann gave the FBI if he agreed to “concede or decline to dispute the fact that no secret channel of communications actually existed,” according to court papers.
