Durham says 'no basis' to strike 'factual background' from filing, denies intent to 'politicize' Sussmann case

Special Counsel John Durham, responding to Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann’s motion to have the court “strike” the “factual background” section from his latest filing. Durham denied that he “intentionally sought to politicize” the case, but instead, included “additional factual detail” that he argued is “central to proving" Sussmann's “alleged criminal conduct.”
