Marc Elias, Hillary Clinton campaign's top lawyer, turns tables on Durham to air Democratic grievances about 2016 electionĮarlier in the week, Elias told the jury that he didn’t authorize Sussmann’s meeting with the FBI, which occurred on September 19, 2016. (Travis Long/The News & Observer via AP) Travis Long/The News & Observer/AP 21, 2019, at the North Carolina State Bar in Raleigh. Marc Elias, an attorney for Democratic congressional candidate Dan McCready, expresses frustration after new documents were entered into evidence during the fourth day of a public evidentiary hearing on the 9th Congressional District voting irregularities investigation Thursday, Feb. “You do that through the media, which is why the information was shared with the media.” “Going to the FBI does not seem like an effective way to get information out to the public,” Mook said. Mook said Friday that he didn’t even know who Sussmann was during the 2016 campaign, and would’ve opposed an FBI meeting. They both testified they didn’t authorize or direct Sussmann to go to the FBI with the explosive Trump tip. Mook and another top Clinton campaign official, general counsel Marc Elias, reinforced that assertion this week on the witness stand. He has pleaded not guilty and maintains that he went “to help the FBI” as a concerned citizen, and that the Clinton campaign wouldn’t have wanted him to meet with the FBI in the first place. Prosecutors charged him with lying to the FBI and allege that he falsely told the FBI official that he wasn’t there for a client, even though he was there on Clinton’s behalf. Sussmann passed along the same information about Trump and Alfa Bank to an FBI official in September 2016.
