The documents released Wednesday show FBI agents discussing how to handle a January 2017 interview with Flynn, who was still working as Trump‘s national security adviser at the time.

„What‘s our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?“ an unnamed FBI agent wrote in a handwritten note included among the documents. „If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ & have them decide. Or, if he initially lies, then we present him [redacted] & he admits it, document for DOJ, & let them decide how to address it.“
