An FBI review of communications between Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. and President Trump’s national security advisor did not produce any incriminating evidence, The Washington Post reported Monday night.
The revelation comes one day after the Wall Street Journal reported that Flynn’s communications with Russian officials had been investigated by U.S. counterintelligence agents. The FBI review focused on calls Flynn made to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak on Dec. 29, the same day the Obama administration imposed fresh sanctions on Russia over what U.S. intelligence says was its hacking of the presidential election.
According to The Post, the calls in question were obtained by the FBI as part of routine surveillance of Russian officials in the U.S., and the review was conducted in late December. Flynn is not the target of an investigation, The Post reported.
