WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal trial is set to begin for a lawyer for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Michael Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI as it investigated potential ties between Donald Trump and Russia in 2016. The case against Sussmann opens Monday in Washington’s federal court with jury selection. It’s the first trial arising from the ongoing investigation by special counsel John Durham into the origins of the Russia probe. Sussmann is accused of concealing from the FBI during a 2016 meeting at which he presented allegations that he was representing the Hillary Clinton campaign. Sussmann’s lawyers deny all wrongdoing.
