"Many of the most damaging emails suggest the committee was actively trying to undermine Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign", The Washington Post reported in July of 2016.
Jane Sanders claimed the college could count on $2.6 million in donations to pay for the 33 lakeside acres meant for the campus, according to a 2010 loan application.
The hiring of the attorneys was confirmed to CBS News by Jeff Weaver, the campaign manager for Sanders in his bid to win the Democratic Party nomination in the 2016 presidential race.
A woman listed as a $1 million pledged donor in the loan document that Sanders signed said she was interviewed by an investigator with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.in April.
Coralee Holm, dean of operations and advancement at Burlington College, emerges from the locked school to speak with alumni and reporters at the time it closed in 2016.
Politico first reported Thursday that Sanders has retained a lawyer amidst the news that the FBI was investigating the bank fraud case. Sanders' office tried inappropriately to get the bank to approve the loan.
'Many would criticize us for perhaps taking sides in the election, ' Johnson outlined as one of the fears, as evidence mounted that pointed to Russian President Vladimir Putin orchestrating a campaign to hurt Clinton and help Trump.
The investigation reportedly started during the Obama administration following an original complaint from lawyer Brady Toensing that went on to spark the probe.
Sanders said at the People's Party summit June 10 that "the current model and the current strategy of the Democratic Party is an absolute failure", the New York Times reported earlier this month.
"Well, as you know", he said, "it would be improp- this implication came from Donald Trump's campaign manager in Vermont".
The Vt Digger reports that a donor claims she agreed to give the college an unspecified amount of money upon her death, yet Jane Sanders "mischaracterized the terms of a gift the donor planned to give the institution".
"My only hope is for a fair, impartial, and thorough investigation", Mr. Toensing added.
Sanders is used to fielding softball questions from an adoring local press, but his inquisitor, Kyle Midura of Burlington TV station WCAX, had a rare opportunity to put him on the spot.
