Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman went on trial in May 2022 for allegedly lying to the FBI. Sussmann took claims of a secret link between Donald Trump and Russia to the FBI ahead of the 2016 election. He told the bureau he was not acting on behalf of a client. Under oath in late 2017 (pdf), he said he was acting on behalf of a client.

Sussmann was acquitted on May 31.
