Former FBI Director James Comey rejected the claim that he went “rogue” in dispatching agents to interview then-White House national security adviser Michael Flynn during the early days of the Trump administration.

He was asked on Wednesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates criticizing him for “acting unilaterally” by not notifying her in advance about the FBI’s interview of retired Lt. Gen. Flynn on Jan. 24, 2017.
