Many of these listed dates came before Flynn’s Dec. 29 call with Kislyak.

List includes this note of caution from NSA Director Nakasone:

“While the principals are identified below, we cannot confirm they saw the unmasked information.” https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/13/republican-senators-michael-flynn-254726">https://www.politico.com/news/2020...
As our story notes, an accompanying memo to Grenell, signed by National Security Agency Director Paul Nakasone, notes that each person was “an authorized recipient” and that the unmasking was approved through the agency’s normal process. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/13/republican-senators-michael-flynn-254726">https://www.politico.com/news/2020...
This Trump campaign statement inaccurately says Biden “requested the unmasking of Flynn.”

The list released by Grenell is of officials who made unmasking requests that might have identified Flynn, per the Grenell memo.
