Mueller counters Flynn interview claims over FBI conduct
The special counsel's office rejects claims of FBI impropriety in the Flynn interview. It states Flynn chose to lie and did not need a warning about illegal false statements. Prosecutors note Flynn lied to White House officials before lying to agents, and he attended the FBI interview without a lawyer. They released memos from McCabe and Strzok describing a relaxed, non urgent briefing and Flynn's extensive talk during the interview.
