Sussmann is accused of making a false statement to the FBI on Sept. 19, 2016, by telling them he wasn't representing any client when he presented evidence to them alleging a link between Donald Trump and Russian bank Alfa Bank—a link which turned out to be completely bogus.
The Clinton tweet included a statement citing an Oct. 31, 2016 story from Slate, a left-wing website, which reported on the alleged connection between Trump and Alfa Bank. The story claimed that a group of computer scientists had sought to determine "whether hackers were interfering with the Trump campaign" and unexpectedly found "evidence" of communication between Trump and Alfa Bank.
The Clinton campaign jumped on the story, insisting that this "evidence" could be "the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow."
