Durham shows jurors emails to prove Danchencko concealed, lied to FBI about Steele dossier sources

 Russia intelligence expert Igor Danchencko

• Special Counsel John Durham presented emails to bolster his case that Danchenko lied to the FBI about gathering information in the agency’s 2016 Russia collusion probe.
• The emails were presented during FBI intelligence analyst Brian Auten's second day on the witness stand.

Among the emails presented were those between Danchenko and John Dolan

• The defense team in opening argument disputed the nature of the communications, seeming to argue whether they were not directly connected to the dossier fact gathering.
• Other emails related to the four other counts included in the indictment included attempts to contact Millian and a third party in another attempt to reach him.

The trial is expected to last about a week, with Auten the first of four scheduled witnesses. Presiding over the trial is Senior District Court Judge Anthony Trenga, appointed to the court by President George W. Bush.

• This is the second trial in Durham's probe. In May, a jury trial found former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of lying to the FBI about information he had about alleged collusion.
