On May 31, 2022, Sussmann was acquitted of the sole charge of lying to investigators. The jury forewoman told reporters afterward that “politics were not a factor” and that she thought bringing the case had been unwise. The prosecutor, Mr. Durham, expressed disappointment in the verdict but said he respected the decision by the jury, which deliberated for about six hours.<ref> https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/31/us/politics/michael-sussmann-durham-fbi.html</ref>
