Obama team was ‘afraid’ Flynn would find improper access to NSA data, Joe diGenova says

Published



The Obama administration was “afraid” retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn would find out about improper access to National Security Agency data as President Trump’s national security adviser, according to former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova.

His assertion adds insight to an allegation by Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, who claims her client was prepared to “audit” the U.S. Intelligence Community as White House national security adviser when he was “set up” by the FBI, resulting in an ensuing controversy that led to his swift ouster from the role.
