Report: FBI Investigating Potential Misconduct In Trump-Russia Probe


The FBI is conducting an internal review to sniff out any possible misconduct related to the Trump-Russia probe. Curtis Heide, a supervisory agent, testified in special counsel John Durham’s trial against former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, that the federal agency is conducting an internal review.

The Daily Caller reports:

Heide revealed the investigation also extends to him, and that he’s being probed regarding an allegation that he withheld information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FBI agent maintained that he didn’t withhold “exculpatory information” on purpose, CNN reported.

The information Heide allegedly withheld was a “recording from one of the [FISA application] subjects,” he told the court. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court looks over surveillance and other investigative requests relating to foreign intelligence.

Sussmann was charged by Durham in 2021 with lying to the FBI during a 2016 meeting, and Heide was one of the FBI agents involved in the bureau’s investigation of Sussmann’s tip.

Other FBI agents have taken the stand in the trial, with former FBI general counsel James Baker testifying earlier in May that he is “100% confident” Sussmann told him the tip he provided was not on behalf of any campaign or client.

Durham has accused Sussmann of providing the tip to the FBI while hiding his connection to Clinton’s campaign.
