NEW: An FBI agent who investigated Flynn recently told the FBI and prosecutors reviewing the Flynn case that he felt Flynn lied to the FBI in his interview to save his job but thought the prosecution of Flynn by Mueller was an effort to “get Trump”, according to a court document.
The agent, identified as William Barnett, apparently told those reviewing the Flynn investigation that the investigation into Manafort, Page, and Papadopoulos were proper because there were investigative angles to follow.
The 13 page interview summary was filed just before midnight tonight by prosecutors seeking to dismiss the case against Flynn.
A dismissal that is being reviewed by the judge who accepted Flynn's initial guilty plea.
