An investigation has shed light on how journalists were vetted and threatened by a customs agent supposedly looking into forced labor, but actually seeking leaks related to President Trump and his alleged collusion with Russia.
MSNBC's Chris Hayes Mocked for False Claim that Trump received Illegal UAE Donations When It Was Clinton
One user wrote, 'Um, these were donations...to Hillary'
MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes was mocked on Twitter for spreading disinformation about donations during the 2016 presidential election.
On Monday, a D.C. federal court unsealed several documents regarding a search warrant into several individuals from the United Arab Emirates. Detroit News reporter Robert Snell posted two images from the documents that revealed evidence of individuals Ahmad "Andy" Khawaja and George Nader funneling funds from the UAE to the 2016 presidential election.
While Hayes assumed a connection between the illegal donation and former President Trump, older documents suggested otherwise. In 2019, Khawaja and Nader were previously indicted on attempting to funnel more than $3 million in illegal foreign campaign contributions to the 2016 election. While the indictment did not list the candidate by name, campaign finance records indicated that the recipient was Hillary Clinton.

Durham probe: Judge Denies Sussmann Motion to Dismiss case; Trial to Begin Next Month
The trial for former Clinton Campaign Lawyer Michael Sussman is set to Begin on May 16
The federal judge presiding over the case of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann denied his request to dismiss the case brought against him by Special Counsel John Durham Wednesday, ordering that the trial go forward as planned next month.
Sussmann, in February, filed a motion to dismiss the case against him. Sussmann was charged with making a false statement to a federal agent, and has pleaded not guilty.
In a court filing Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper outlined the charges against Sussmann brought by the Durham impaneled grand jury last year.
Cooper detailed Durham's indictment, which alleges that Sussmann told then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016, less than two months before the 2016 presidential election, that he was not doing work "for any client" when he requested and held a meeting in which he presented "purported data and 'white papers' that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin.
"Specifically, Sussmann allegedly told Baker that he was not attending the meeting on behalf of any client when, in fact, he had assembled and was conveying the information on behalf of two specific clients: (1) a technology-industry executive named Rodney Joffe and (2) the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign," Cooper wrote.

Durham says he will seek immunity for a Fusion GPS employee during the trial of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann
Special Counsel John Durham asserted in a court filing Friday that the CIA concluded data from Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann alleging coordination between Donald Trump and Russia was "not technically plausible" and was "user created."
In the filing, Durham responded to objections from Sussmann’s defense regarding what evidence could be admissible at Sussmann's trial, which is scheduled to begin next month. Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI by saying he was not attending a meeting on behalf of a particular client when he was actually presenting the information on behalf of the HIllary Clinton campaign and a technology executive with whom he worked.
Durham in February first revealed that the government would establish during trial that among the data "exploited" was domain name system (DNS) internet traffic pertaining to "a particular healthcare provider, Trump Tower, Donald Trump's Central Park West apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President of the United States (EOP)."
Durham also alleges that Sussmann in February 2017 provided an "updated set of allegations," including the Alfa Bank claims, and additional allegations related to Trump to a second U.S. government agency, which Fox News has confirmed was the CIA.

I've said many times we DO know they interfered to help him. We DON'T know how to measure the effect of their efforts so it's impossible to conclude they actually swung the election result.
Other than Democrats saying that, do you have literal proof how they interfered on behalf of trump?
For time, cause I'm going to work, I only clicked on the last one. The first sentence, "putin likely to have". Again, concrete proof, not "we can't accept he won, so likely this happened ". That's all I've seen, show me anybody who was swayed because of Russia, or their propaganda.This took like 30 seconds Joe. C'mon.
