Special counsel John Durham has an active and ongoing criminal probe into a tech executive who worked with a Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign lawyer to share claims of a cyber back channel between Donald Trump and Russia, prosecutors said in court Wednesday

"Lawyers for Sussmann say Joffe is a key part of their defense and will offer testimony that helps exonerate Sussmann.

Because of the potential criminal exposure, Joffe intends to plead the Fifth, according to his lawyers.
