"The evidence will further show that the joint venture continued and crystallized early in
August 2016 when the defendant, Tech Executive-1, and agents of the Clinton Campaign met at
Law Firm-1. In particular, on August 12, 2016, the defendant, Tech Executive-1, the Clinton
Campaign’s General Counsel (Campaign Lawyer-1), and the co-founder of the Clinton Campaign’s
hired investigative firm (the U.S. Investigative Firm) met in Campaign Lawyer-1’s office. There,
they discussed the same Russian Bank-1 allegations that the defendant would later bring to the FBI.
The evidence will show that at the meeting, the parties agreed to conduct work in the hope that it
would benefit the Clinton Campaign, namely, gathering and disseminating purportedly derogatory
data regarding Trump and his associates’ internet activities. In particular, the Government expects
the evidence will show that as a result of these conversations and during this same time period,
Tech Executive-1 did exactly that: he tasked employees from multiple Internet companies and a
university working under a pending national security contract to mine and gather vast amounts of
internet metadata in order to support an “inference” and “narrative” tying the candidate to Russia."
