Durham was tapped by Barr in 2019 to investigate potential misconduct in the FBI’s handling of the Russia investigation, which Trump for years railed against as a “deep state” plot to tarnish his campaign and presidency. Barr himself has said the Russia investigation was an effort to “sabotage” Trump.
But after three years of investigation, Durham has not brought allegations of any such plot within the government. Other than Sussmann, Durham has charged a former FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty to altering a key email used to continue surveillance on a Trump campaign aide and a Russia analyst involved in the infamous Steele dossier on Trump’s ties to Russia, who is accused of lying to the FBI. The analyst, Igor Danchenko is set to go to trial in October.
