Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann has filed a motion to dismiss special counsel John Durham’s case against him, claiming “extraordinary prosecutorial overreach.”
“Defendant Michael A. Sussmann, by and through undersigned counsel and pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12(b)(3)(B), respectfully moves this Court to dismiss the Indictment because the single count therein ‘fail[s] to state an offense,’” Sussmann’s lawyers wrote on Feb. 17. Previously, the former Perkins Coie lawyer pleaded not guilty to charges of lying to the FBI.
