May 22 (UPI) — FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday ordered a review of the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
Wray directed the bureau’s Inspection Division to conduct an « after-action » review of its probe related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. The review will determine whether « current employees engaged in misconduct » and if any changes should be made to the FBI’s protocols.
« Although the FBI does not have the prosecutorial authority to bring a criminal case, the Inspection Division can and will evaluate whether any current onboard employees engaged in actions that might warrant disciplinary measures, » the FBI said in a statement.
