Prosecutors said the meeting was part of a Clinton campaign scheme to pitch the story to news media outlets that the Trump campaign was under investigation by the FBI for ties to Russia, thus sabotaging his campaign.

A federal jury in Washington acquitted Mr. Sussman in May 2022. Mr. Sussmann resigned from the firm in September 2021 shortly after the criminal charges were filed.

Last month, Mr. Trump revoked security clearances for attorneys at Covington & Burling, which assisted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into the president. Mr. Smith said he received $140,000 in free legal advice from the firm to help him with his probes into Mr. Trump and his allies.
