WASHINGTON—Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann’s trial for allegedly lying to the FBI about concocted links between the Trump Organization and a Kremlin-linked bank leading up to the 2016 election continues on Monday before U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in the E. Bartlett Perryman Federal Courthouse.

Sussmann is charged with making a false statement after he told FBI general counsel James A. Baker that he was not representing any clients on Sept. 19, 2016, as he delivered two thumb drives and a binder of “white papers” detailing “secret server” allegations against former President Donald Trump.
