On Monday evening, the three evening news broadcasts continued their silence on the explosive report from Special Counsel John Durham’s court filing showing that Hillary Clinton’s campaign allegedly spied on former President Donald Trump.
ABC broadcasts all of the evening news programs, World News TonightCBS Evening NewsNBC and NBC Nightly NewsThey did not appear to have any interest in reporting on the Durham court filings. However, they had time to cover the private plane accident in North Carolina as well as local crime stories, such the killing of a New York City-based movie producer at thirty-five years old.
However, Fox News’ Special ReportThis story was covered by Bret Baier, anchor. The anchor teased Durham news in the first half of the six-hour hour and covered the story more deeply six minutes later.
“As mentioned at the top of the show there are significant developments tonight in the investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. Special Counsel John Durham has tied 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to an effort to infiltrate Trump Tower computer servers to set up a quote false narrative” Baier said before turning to correspondent David Spunt to give viewers more details about the ongoing investigation:
Fox News is told that Special Counsel John Durham has a close source who says things have been accelerated. More people are now cooperating in the Russia probe.
Continuing to reveal to viewers the gravity of the allegations in this latest court filing from Durham, Spunt reported “Special Counsel John Durham looking into the origins of the Russia probe for almost three years argues in a new filing that former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussman was in contact with a technology executive who tasked researchers to mine internet data to establish an inference and narrative tying then-candidate Trump to Russia.” Spunt continued, revealing that “Sussman is fighting charges of lying to the FBI.”
Spunt did remind viewers that “In 2016 Clinton herself peddled the Trump-Russia theory in this tweet. Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank, then Clinton aide now current White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement that same day this line of communication may help explain Trump’s bizarre adoration of Vladimir Putin.”
Sullivan who is now the White House National Security Advisor for Joe Biden was on CBS’s Face the Nation, and CNN’s State of the UnionThe Sunday show did not ask Sullivan any questions about Durham court documents. The Sunday news was not covered by any of the Sunday hosts.
We shouldn’t be surprised that the networks continued to hide this important news from their viewers today.

2/14/2022
6:06 PMBRET BAIER: There are important developments in tonight’s investigation into Trump-Russia. John Durham, the Special Counsel of 2016 Democratic Presidential Candidate has linked Hillary Clinton’s attempt to penetrate Trump Tower computers servers and create a quote false narrative. David Spunt is the correspondent and has information from the Justice Department.
DAVID SPOUNT: Fox News is told that the investigation into Russia’s origins has been accelerated by a source who knows about Special Counsel John Durham.
DONALD TRUMP, OCTOBER 9, 2016,: Nothing about Russia.
SPUNT. Donald Trump denies reports that he was involved in a conspiracy with Russia. John Durham, Special Counsel in Russia investigating the Russia probe’s origins for nearly three years now claims in a filing that Michael Sussman, a former Clinton campaign lawyer was in touch with a technology executive. He asked researchers to use internet data to create an inference or narrative linking Trump to Russia. Sussman, who is currently facing lying charges against the FBI. The former President called the latest allegations far more serious than Watergate.
JAMES TRUTY (FORMER FEDDERAL PROSECUTOR). You know, we’re not talking about intercepting communications. It doesn’t necessarily mean John Durham has abandoned the path to accountability.
SPUNT. In 2016, Hillary Clinton promoted the Trump-Russia theory through this tweet. The Trump Organization was apparently linked to a Russian-based banking institution by computer scientists. This is what Jake Sullivan, the current White House National Security Advisor said that Jake Sullivan had stated on the same day. It may also explain Trump’s odd love for Vladimir Putin. John Ratcliffe was Trump’s former Director for National Intelligence.
JOHN RATCLIFFE: I would expect and anticipate based on the intelligence that I’ve seen that there will be quite a few more indictments.
KARINE Jean-PIERRE, WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY PRS SECRETARY: I’m unable to speak for them from here. I’ll refer you to Department of Justice.
SPUNT: Bret, the attorney for Sussman and the Department of Justice did not comment on this matter. We can confirm that Capitol Hill Republicans are salivating. The Republicans claim that they will host public hearings regarding the Durham investigation if the House is retaken in November. Bret?
