NEW YORK — The acquittal last month of a former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer accused of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation was a blow to Republicans who wanted to take the Russia probe down a notch. But it wasn’t a total loss for former President Donald Trump.
Trump on Tuesday night amended his March lawsuit accusing Clinton of leading a vast conspiracy against him to add details gleaned from testimony and evidence from Special Counsel John Durham’s failed prosecution of longtime Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann last month in Washington.
Trump’s revised suit also adds U.S. Representative Adam Schiff and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to a case that already has dozens of defendants, accusing them of working with Clinton to smear Trump while he was in office.
