Fox News: Mueller Pushes Back Against Mike Flynn’s Claim He Was Tricked into Lying

EXCERPT:

FISHER: "Well, Jason, the big news out of the White House tonight is what you were just referencing, the fact that President Trump has named an interim replacement for his outgoing Chief of Staff, John Kelly. Mick Mulvaney, he's the current budget director will become the Acting Chief of Staff when Kelly departs at the end of the year. Mulvaney is going to have to deal with Democrats taking control of the House and the ongoing Special Counsel investigation. Today Robert Mueller pushed back hard against accusations that the FBI acted improperly in an interview with the President’s former National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn. A judge had ordered the Special Counsel to respond to the charge by this afternoon and it did forcefully. According to the Special Counsel filing, Michael Flynn, as a seasoned military officer who dealt regularly with the Bureau, knew he should not lie to federal agents. It also says that idea that Flynn was tricked into lying is false. Flynn has accused the FBI's then Deputy Director Andrew McCabe of suggesting that he should not bring a lawyer to that interview. It's a move George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley calls highly irregular."
