Who is Bill Priestap, ex-FBI official who wrote Flynn interview notes?
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News
Newly unsealed FBI notes that discussed motivations behind interviewing then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in the White House in January 2017 were written by the FBI's former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap, Fox News is told.
This is not the first time that Priestap’s name has come up in connection with high-profile matters.
When Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his report on the origins of the Russia investigation, he revealed that it was Priestap who made the ultimate decision to launch the probe, which was known within the FBI as “Crossfire Hurricane.†Flynn’s case, based on charges that he provided false statements to investigators regarding his contact with a Russian ambassador, came from that investigation.
