Republicans drag Biden’s NSA Jake Sullivan into center of Durham’s Russia probe for LYING by saying Trump had ‘hotline’ to Kremlin bank and ‘receiving information’ from Clinton lawyer indicted for lying to the FBI

  • National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is being accused of a conflict of interest and called on to step down after the latest Durham probe filing
  • On Friday Durham alleged that Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid a tech firm to infiltrate Trump Tower and later White House servers to make Trump-Russia link
  • Sullivan, who at the time was on Clinton’s team, released a statement in Oct 2016 reacting to a supposed link between Trump and a Russian bank
  • Republican lawmakers are raising concerns about him now having a significant role in US foreign policy amid Russia’s escalating crisis with Ukraine 
  • Sources told Fox News in November that Sullivan is the ‘foreign policy adviser’ in former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussman’s indictment
  • There is no indication that Sullivan is a target of John Durham’s investigation
  • But it is the closest the Special Counsel has come in his probe to anyone directly associated with President Joe Biden’s White House
  • Suggests Sullivan was in touch with Michael Sussman, who’s denied lying to FBI 

Republicans are calling for increased scrutiny on President Joe Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan after the longtime Democratic operative’s links to Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation were revived in the wake of a bombshell new court filing.

Durham’s probe into the origins of the Russian investigation moved closer to the White House late last year with a report that Sullivan was the ‘foreign policy adviser’ mentioned in the indictment of former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann.

Sussmann was charged in September with allegedly lying to the FBI, and has pleaded not guilty.

But over the weekend, a new court filing by Durham emerged which alleged Clinton’s 2016 campaign paid a tech firm to infiltrate Trump Tower servers and later White House servers in a bid to establish a link between Donald Trump and Russia.

Without naming Sullivan, Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida told DailyMail.com it was ‘hard to believe’ such a high level of privacy invasion could have taken place without the Clinton campaign’s knowledge.

‘If these allegations prove true, I would find it hard to believe that there was potentially some type of collusion with a tech company that had access to servers and computers to spy on the Trump campaign – and potentially the White House – without authorization from top officials in the Clinton campaign,’ Waltz said.

Amid outrage over the new spying allegations, a past tweet from Clinton has ignited a firestorm and renewed attention on Sullivan’s role in potentially pushing lies about then-candidate and later President Trump.
