Former FBI Director James Comey admitted in a recent interview that he personally made the decision to send a pair of agents to interview President Trump’s national security adviser Michael Flynn in 2017, and acknowledged the arrangement was not typical for dealing with a White House official. Flynn was pushed out shortly after his interview for misleading Vice President Pence and other officials about those contacts. Earlier this week, Flynn's legal team also made the allegation that the FBI had pushed him not to bring a lawyer to his interview with agents at the White House. Mueller's team has already suggested to the court that Flynn be spared jail time, citing his cooperation. Flynn faced mounting legal bills that forced him to sell his home amid the prosecution.
