.HillaryClinton’s 2016 campaign, DNC, Fusion GPS, and Perkins Coie are fighting John Durham’s efforts to compel the handing over of withheld documents, arguing their claims of attorney-client privilege should keep the records concealed.
The special counsel made the demand earlier this month in the case of Democratic cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann, who has been indicted on charges of concealing his clients, the Clinton campaign and “tech executive” Rodney Joffe, from FBI general counsel James Baker when he pushed since-debunked claims of a secret back channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
The FEC said the DNC paid $849,407 and the Clinton campaign paid $175,000 to Perkins Coie for what was alleged in a complaint to be “opposition research done by Fusion.” The Clinton campaign reported the purpose of all those payments as “legal services,” and the DNC reported the purpose of most of those payments as “legal and compliance consulting."
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook declared “one of the topics about which Perkins Coie provided legal services ... to HFA involved fact-finding and research that the campaign conducted" on Trump, and Mook claimed he believed any work Perkins or Fusion did “was done for the purpose of providing legal services.”
Simpson and Fritsch wrote in their 2019 book that they met with Elias on April 20, 2016, and Elias wanted"deep research on Trump.” The special counsel said the “primary purpose” of Fusion’s work related to the Steele dossier and Alfa-Bank claims “was to assemble and publicize allegations that would aid the campaign’s public relations goals.”
