Several high-profile Democratic political operatives and officials are set to take the witness stand next week in the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, attorneys for both sides revealed in court Monday.
Mr. Sussmann is denying government charges that he lied to FBI officials when he tried to supply them with information related to possible links between the campaign of Republican rival Donald Trump and Russian banks, links that were subsequently discredited.
Robby Mook, who managed Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign, Clinton campaign attorney Marc Elias and FBI counterintelligence leader Bill Priestap and former top FBI lawyer James Baker are among those called as government witnesses, said prosecutor Andrew DeFilipiis.
The prosecution, spearheaded by special counsel John Durham‘s probe of the FBI‘s Trump-Russia collusion investigation, also will put on the stand Laura Seago, a top tech official at political research firm Fusion GPS; Deborah Fine, a Clinton campaign lawyer; and a CIA official identified only as “Kevin B.”
A slew of FBI officials are also expected to testify for the government, which alleges that Mr. Sussmann lied to FBI officials about his Clinton campaign ties when peddling the false story about Mr. Trump and Russia.
Defense attorneys unveiled their own high-powered witness list. It includes Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, former acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord and Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Eric Lichtblau.
A different slate of FBI officials is lined up to testify on behalf of the defense.

Call me when theres more going on than one pissant lying to the FBI charge. Democrats only get a small fine.
Sure hope Durham has security covering these witnesses.
This just proves that Michael Horowitz is corrupt. We already knew that as he always makes sure that is reports lead to nothing big.
They are involuntary witnesses. Durham is just getting them to repeat to the trial jury what they probably were forced to testify to his grand jury. What democrats say under oath is usually very different than what they say to the media.
I want thse Sussman trial televised and made avaialble over NewsMAx and Blaze.
I find this highly entertaining and worthy of turning out the Republican vote. ( It also makes Mitch McConnell look really bad.)
