Attorney General William Barr said the decision to drop the criminal case against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn came because there wasn’t a legitimate probe happening when FBI agents went to interview Flynn at the White House in early 2017.
Flynn initially pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI but recently moved to withdraw the plea. The Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to dismiss the case Thursday after a slew of new information came out casting doubt on the charge.
