Identity of 'Tech Executive' in Durham Indictment over Alfa Bank claims Revealed
The unnamed technology executive from special counsel John Durham’s most recent indictment, who allegedly hired now-indicted lawyer Michael Sussmann and helped push claims of a secret backchannel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank, has been revealed.
Rodney Joffe, senior vice president of Neustar, was identified as "Tech Executive-1" on Thursday in a CNN report that said Durham issued more subpoenas to the high-powered, Democrat-connected law firm Perkins Coie that, until recently, had employed Sussmann.
Online sleuths figured out earlier this month Joffe was likely the unnamed technology executive. Alfa Bank, which denied the existence of a back channel, is pursuing subpoenas directed at Neustar and Joffe in its own civil lawsuit.
The grand jury indictment this month against Sussmann centers on a September 2016 meeting between him and then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in which Sussmann passed along allegations claiming covert communications between Russia’s Alfa Bank and former President Donald Trump's business.
