Jake Sullivan, President Biden's White House national security
adviser, is the "foreign policy advisor" referred to in the
indictment of former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign
lawyer Michael Sussmann, according to two well-placed sources.

This is the closest Special Counsel John Durham's investigation
into the origins of the Russia investigation has come to anyone
directly associated with the Biden White House.

GREG GUTFELD: OF COURSE THE MEDIA WON'T ADMIT IT GOT THE STEELE
DOSSIER WRONG

Sussmann was indicted for allegedly lying to the FBI on Sept.
16, and has pleaded not guilty to one count of making a false
statement to a federal agent. This case came out of Durham’s
probe into the origins of the Russia investigation.

Durham’s indictment alleges Sussmann told then-FBI General
Counsel James Baker he was not doing work "for any client" when
he requested and held a September 2016 meeting in which he
provided evidence of a purported secret communications channel
between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia.

In fact, he later billed the Clinton campaign for the meeting,
according to Durham's indictment. The FBI also looked into the
story about the alleged link between the Trump presidential
campaign and the Russian bank, it turned out to be bogus.

WAPO MEDIA CRITIC SAYS DURHAM INDICTMENT IS ‘BAD NEWS’ FOR THOSE
WHO HYPED STEELE DOSSIER

The Durham indictment lays out a scenario where an unnamed
Clinton campaign lawyer, "exchanged emails with the Clinton
Campaign’s campaign manager, communications director, and
foreign policy advisor [Jake Sullivan] concerning the Russian
Bank-1 allegations that Sussmann had recently shared," with an
unnamed reporter.

There is no indication that Sullivan is a target of Durham’s
investigation, only that he received information from a campaign
lawyer.

Fox News has reached out to Sullivan’s office for comment. White
House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred Fox
News to the Department of Justice and said the White House had
no comment as of Tuesday. "I don't know anything about what
you're you're just mentioning," Jean-Pierre said. "So I have to
to talk to our team."

The Durham indictment also alleges that Sussmann was working on
behalf of a tech industry executive, an American internet
company and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Prosecutors say Sussmann's "lie" is important because it "misled
the FBI General Counsel and other FBI personnel concerning the
political nature of his work."

Another grand jury indictment was returned on Nov. 4 for Igor
Danchenko, a Russian analyst who is accused of being the primary
sub-source in the Steele dossier. He is charged with five counts
of making false statements to the FBI and his next court
appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.
