BREAKING: Justice Department is dropping criminal case against ex-Trump adviser Michael Flynn, according to court filing obtained by AP. The prosecution has been a rallying cry for the president in attacking FBI Russia investigation. http://apne.ws/8luVvMN
The Justice Department says the FBI's January 2017 interview of Flynn was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn” and “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.” http://apne.ws/jinW6S5
Prosecutors had maintained that Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 interview. Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, admitted as much, and became a key cooperator for Mueller. http://apne.ws/1ylRAs6
