According to her campaign manager, Hillary Clinton personally approved the since-debunked Trump-Russia charges about Alfa-Bank with the media during the 2016 election.
IF BAKER HAD ADMITTED TO REPRESENTING CLINTON, HE WOULDN'T HAVE MET WITH SUSSMANN.
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook testified on Friday that Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias "briefed him initially about the Alfa-Bank issue" in the summer of 2016. He claimed that the campaign's leadership had a brief meeting to decide whether or not to disclose the material with the media, which they did. According to Mook, campaign chairman John Podesta, communications director Jennifer Palmieri, and policy adviser Jake Sullivan (now President Joe Biden's national security adviser) were also in attendance during the meeting.

"We talked about it and then took that decision," he added, adding that "we did" decide to share the allegations with a reporter. When questioned by a prosecutor on special counsel John Durham's team about the highest level of approval for pressuring Alfa-Bank, Mook said that "John and I were involved," but that "I talked it with Hillary as well" after the campaign team had discussed it. "Hey, you know, we have this, and we want to share it with a reporter," Mook says he said to Clinton. "She consented to that," Mook added.
