In addition to evaluating the actions of 'current employees,' the FBI said the review would determine whether internal controls needed to be improved. The FBI's review would mark the second such evaluation of the fraught case.
Justice's move to dismiss the case is pending before a federal judge in Washington who has tapped a retired jurist to challenge the government's request.
"The FBI has been fully transparent and cooperative with Mr. Jensen, and the FBI’s help has included providing special agents to assist Mr. Jensen in the fact-finding process," the bureau said. Flynn’s attorneys have claimed he had been trapped by FBI investigators into making false statements during a January 2017 interview and not disclosing evidence that would’ve exonerated him during special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The documents showed that investigators were prepared to close the investigation on Flynn – code named Crossfire Razor – but decided to keep it open even though the inquiry had not yielded"information on which to predicate further investigative efforts.”
