   Jake Sullivan, President Biden's White House national security   
   adviser, is the "foreign policy advisor" referred to in the   
   indictment of former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign   
   lawyer Michael Sussmann, according to two well-placed sources.   
      
   This is the closest Special Counsel John Durham's investigation   
   into the origins of the Russia investigation has come to anyone   
   directly associated with the Biden White House.   
      
   GREG GUTFELD: OF COURSE THE MEDIA WON'T ADMIT IT GOT THE STEELE   
   DOSSIER WRONG   
      
   Sussmann was indicted for allegedly lying to the FBI on Sept.   
   16, and has pleaded not guilty to one count of making a false   
   statement to a federal agent. This case came out of Durham’s   
   probe into the origins of the Russia investigation.   
      
   Durham’s indictment alleges Sussmann told then-FBI General   
   Counsel James Baker he was not doing work "for any client" when   
   he requested and held a September 2016 meeting in which he   
   provided evidence of a purported secret communications channel   
   between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia.   
      
   In fact, he later billed the Clinton campaign for the meeting,   
   according to Durham's indictment. The FBI also looked into the   
   story about the alleged link between the Trump presidential   
   campaign and the Russian bank, it turned out to be bogus.   
      
   WAPO MEDIA CRITIC SAYS DURHAM INDICTMENT IS ‘BAD NEWS’ FOR THOSE   
   WHO HYPED STEELE DOSSIER   
      
   The Durham indictment lays out a scenario where an unnamed   
   Clinton campaign lawyer, "exchanged emails with the Clinton   
   Campaign’s campaign manager, communications director, and   
   foreign policy advisor [Jake Sullivan] concerning the Russian   
   Bank-1 allegations that Sussmann had recently shared," with an   
   unnamed reporter.   
      
   There is no indication that Sullivan is a target of Durham’s   
   investigation, only that he received information from a campaign   
   lawyer.   
      
   Fox News has reached out to Sullivan’s office for comment. White   
   House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred Fox   
   News to the Department of Justice and said the White House had   
   no comment as of Tuesday. "I don't know anything about what   
   you're you're just mentioning," Jean-Pierre said. "So I have to   
   to talk to our team."   
      
   The Durham indictment also alleges that Sussmann was working on   
   behalf of a tech industry executive, an American internet   
   company and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.   
      
   Prosecutors say Sussmann's "lie" is important because it "misled   
   the FBI General Counsel and other FBI personnel concerning the   
   political nature of his work."   
      
   Another grand jury indictment was returned on Nov. 4 for Igor   
   Danchenko, a Russian analyst who is accused of being the primary   
   sub-source in the Steele dossier. He is charged with five counts   
   of making false statements to the FBI and his next court   
   appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.
