MUELLER PROBE

The former special counsel issued a long report last month accusing the FBI of acting negligently in opening the Trump-Russia investigation based on insufficient information.

The special counsel who investigated the origins of the Trump-Russia probe will testify before the GOP-led committee on June 21, sources told NBC News.

Analyst Igor Danchenko's acquittal is another blow to special counsel John Durham’s probe into the origins of the FBI's investigation of allegations of ties between former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.

Igor Danchenko, who Special Counsel John Durham says was a primary source of information in the Trump dossier prepared by British spy Christopher Steele, is scheduled to go on trial next week.

What the suit “lacks in substance and legal support it seeks to substitute with length, hyperbole, and the settling of scores and grievances,” federal Judge Donald Middlebrooks said.

The Justice Department had turned over other documents to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as part of the group’s lawsuit, but declined to give it the memo.

The case was the first brought by special counsel John Durham to go trial. Durham has been probing the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.

The case against Michael Sussmann, who represented the Clinton campaign in 2016, is the first trial arising from the investigation by special counsel John Durham into potential misconduct in the Trump-Russia probe.

The internal watchdog also found DHS employees made additions to the report about China and Iran “that appear to be based in part on political considerations."

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, billionaire Dmytro Firtash said the Russian president cannot win in Ukraine: “He is never going to come out victorious.”

Trump's lawsuit alleges Clinton and Democrats tried to rig the 2016 U.S. presidential election by tying his campaign to Russia.
